I wasn't a big fan of the movie itself, but the music is just incredible! The visuals were amazing too.

See you, space cowboy.

I agree. Some of the scenes were so beautiful I'd like to frame them and hang them on my wall. The music set a beautiful mood, like a beautiful bittersweet summer day. I didn't love the story, but I loved the mood it set. It makes me want to grab a book of poetry and sit next to an open window.

@au-grad...i had the same thought...especially the scene where she is sitting on the bed and the curtain is floating by her face...i wanted a snapshot to frame...so many scenes were breathtaking ...perfect with the music

Yes, the music was fabulous--simple, not overly manipulative like many scores, and just beautifully delicate. Mark Bradshaw, the composer, was only 25 when he did the score. I can't wait to see what he does in his career!

Campion has always created films with stunning visuals. I would love for more people to see some of her other work and watch for the tableaux she creates. The camera holds for just a moment on a scene in stillness and it will be just perfection. I'm thinking in particular of Sweetie.

But in this film she found her equal in sound.
