The lights dim and film music takes center stage—cinematic highlights illuminate the way masterful composers can tease out inner torments. Muhly (who has worked with Bjork) imbues The Reader with tortured angst. Jacob TV (aka Jacob ter Veldhuis) obsessively works motifs exploring gambling, addiction and incarceration. Woolf’s documentary score is rippled with sympathy for the trials of Tibetan refugees and Bartok’s vibrant classic animates Spike Jonze’ surreal identity crisis.
