Beth and Max Redux

Although the cues here might not sound like it, this film is actually a comedy, too (albeit a kinda brooding one). Lots of sly and po-mo media savvy references (the film itself is a riff on Annie Hall), but there’s a underlying loneliness and a subtle romantic streak that runs throughout. The soundtrack features a bucket load of indie-rocking source music, so director Van Flesher had me stick to the bitter-sweetest parts. One of my favorite things about the score was getting to play the melodica, featured here in the Beth & Max cues. They’re variations on a theme, less about love than the spaces around and the cracks within it .
