"Still Alice," the original motion picture soundtrack composed by Ilan Eshkeri, is a delicate and intimate musical journey that perfectly complements the poignant drama of the film. Released on January 13, 2015, via Nettwerk Music Group, this 23-minute album features 14 tracks that capture the essence of the movie's heart-wrenching narrative.
Eshkeri, known for his work on films like "Stardust" and "The Young Victoria," delivers a score that is both beautiful and restrained. The music, performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra, is a chamber music masterpiece for a violin, viola, cello, and piano quartet. Eshkeri's compositions are delicate and intimate, providing a subtle yet powerful accompaniment to the film's raw and honest portrayal of early-onset Alzheimer's.
The album includes tracks like "L.A. Drive," "No Secrets," and "Alice Tells the Children," each contributing to the film's narrative without overpowering the performances. Eshkeri's score has been praised for its ability to accentuate the film's emotional depth without manipulating the audience's feelings, allowing the characters' journeys to speak for themselves.
"Still Alice" is a testament to Eshkeri's skill in creating music that enhances the cinematic experience. Whether you're a fan of the film or simply appreciate beautiful, understated music, this soundtrack is a valuable addition to any collection.
