A very sad,dark movie.....with the most beautiful music ever...
@MgCtK1
Amazing sombre soundstrack, so deep and haunting. Fits the mood of the movie perfectly. The basic melody is actually quite simple to work out. MK must be the greatest living songwriter and musical mind imho.
@ermark2
It's beyond what words can describe... like our memories, our childhood.
@johningle9908
knopfler at his best - wonderful music just like everything else he has composed/played
@antonyirvine9338
Shades of Ennio Morricone but also very original. Knopfler is a very melodic composer and player
@seadog365
The first time I heard this music I fell in love with it. It's so beautiful and so haunting.
@hotoneinspai
amazing music...and certainly a fitting piece for this Movie I first saw in the late 80's and as still as haunting today! M K is indeed a superb writer and player of music. I totally recommend this Movie to anyone.

I felt so bad for her in the scenes after her flashing. Such a lost soul longing to feel loved and have meaning.
