The Music Is an Actor: Pino Donaggio (2015)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Excellent fifteen minute interview with composer Pino Donaggio who discusses his work on the Brian DePalma thriller DRESSED TO KILL. Donaggio starts off talking about how he met DePalma and how the two started working together on CARRIE. From here the main focus is on the DRESSED TO KILL album where the composer talks about having watched the film with DePalma and paying close attention to the edits so that everything could be timed out perfectly. The composer also talks about what it would have been like had he done the score for some of the director's bigger action movies. If you're a fan of the film or the composer then you're certainly going to love this featurette as Donaggio goes into great detail about the music selections and how he came up with them. He breaks down certain scenes and really gives you a great education on his approach and ideas behind the music.
