Variety posted an interesting article about composer MAURICE JARRE receiving the Berlin Film Festival's Honorary Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement Award (the worlds longest award title). Here are a couple of great quotes:
“I owe him everything,” Jarre said of Lean. “He gave me the best pictures, the opportunity to receive three Oscars for four films — not so bad! — and he gave me his friendship. He was a gentleman. When I lost him, I lost not only a great director, but a great friend.” . . .
“The biggest directors I worked with are gone,” he said sadly. “And the fashion now is very quick-cut, so fast that you don’t even see what is going on. Also, there is no music — it’s a kind of complement of sounds, more like clang-clang-clang. We don’t know if they are sound effects or music.”
Congrats to Mr. Jarre! Another award well-deserved!
