Beautiful score


What a moving and brilliant score. It has stuck with me since I saw it in the theater 17 years ago as a teenager. Listening to it brings tears to my eyes. The score- and the movie itself- is completely underrated.

One of the finest scores of the 90s! The film was a feast not only for eyes and mind, but also for ears thanks to the score.

I will always thank Burkhard von Dallwitz and Philip Glass for the music they composed. A shame only the Golden Globes recognized their magnificence.

Yes, the score is quite deep. It's marvelous music.


Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

Totally agree, I've thought this since the first time I saw the movie. The score jumps into my head at random points throughout life and is definitely hella poignant. Definitely have teared up a couple times as well. Glad you mentioned this, was wondering if I was the only one who found the score so moving!!

There's a number of classical pieces from Mozart, Chopin, and Brahms.

Amazing score. Goose bumps every time I listen to it

I thought the score was good at some parts (namely during the romantic bits) and just horrible and unfitting at others (i.e. when Truman's being suspicious of his world - music sounded like something for a carousel ride).
