Cannes In Your Cans: The Sounds of the 2017 Festival
And finally, just before we put Cannes to bed (sorta — there are a couple more reviews straggling in over the next few days), we thought we’d leave you on a celebratory note (literally so, if you hit play on “The Florida Project“‘s entry) by rounding up our favorite music moments of the festival. Outside of scores, of which there were three outstanding, unforgettable Cannes examples (Carter Burwell‘s heavy-lifting storytelling score for Todd Haynes‘ “Wonderstruck“; Oneohtrix Point Never‘s woozy, propulsive, blistering score for the Safdies‘ “Good Time“; and Jonny Greenwood‘s uncategorizable, sparingly used brilliance for Lynne Ramsay‘s “You Were Never Really Here“), there were a great number of soundtrack cues that lit up the selection. Here’s a taste of what we were all humming on the Croisette this year.
