JOURNEY FROM THE FALL

Film américain de 2006.

"JOURNEY FROM THE FALL tells the story about a Vietnamese family, tragically affected by the Vietnam War, who are forced to emigrate to America thirteen years after the end of the war. The deeply emotional, heartfelt and strikingly honest orchestral accompaniment to the film is the creation of young composer Christopher Wong. He is a student of the legendary Jerry Goldsmith (Planet of the Apes, Basic Instinct, L.A. Confidential), and certainly a composer who has learned a few important tricks from the late maestro: the importance of a strong theme to unify a score and the beauty of carefully figured out choices of instrumentation - while JOURNEY FROM THE FALL has its glowing moments of swelling strings, it's most evocative writing is for solo instruments such as violin, piano, clarinet, guitar and the Dan Tranh, the traditional Vietnamese zither."
