Adore


This oddly enchanting film centers childhood best friends Lil and Roz (Naomi Watts and Robin Wright) who fall for each others sons. That summary was way too short and sweet for what happens but essentially that is it. This films got a pretty original plot, a great group of actors, and last but not least, an enchanting and captivating soundtrack. 

The composure of Christopher Gordon is unforgettably beautiful. Each song ties together through the beautiful walls of sound which are all different, but mesh together as the story goes on. A lot of Australian pop is used as well- a couple in the wedding scene, however utterly forgettable. What is truly capturing is the brilliant piano sequence that Christopher Gordon repeats throughout his music throughout the movie. The simplicity of the violin and piano together is almost whimsical and sucks you in. Gordon's music makes you feel curious and excited while still being sucked into each couples love. His music is hauntingly beautiful and it works perfectly for this film.
