From the press release:“In writing the score for Terry Gilliam’s Doctor Parnassus we sought to create music as timeless and archaic as the immortal Doctor himself.” - Mychael Danna
Director Terry Gilliams’ Worlds of candy canes, mile high ladders, giant cobras come and go
and transform into other wonders. To underline the dream-like states and fantastical elements
of Gilliam’s cinematography, Jeff and Mychael produced a breathtaking and surprising
post-modern score. Tangos, Waltzes, Tibetan monastic chant, Mediaeval Music and a greasy
noir-ish saxophone tune for Tom Wait's characterization of Satan all mix together with a full
orchestra and a couple of show-stopping songs.
The brothers last collaborated with Terry Gilliam on his 2005 film Tideland. As Michael Danna
remarks: “This is our second collaboration with Terry, and so we were prepared for the
madness, mayhem and just plain fun that comes with working with his boundless creative
spirit.”
