Quartet Records presents a remastered CD reissue of Ennio Morricone’s bizarre giallo score for the 1974 thriller L’ULTIMO UOMO DI SARA (aka SARAH’S LAST MAN).
Directed by actress Maria Virginia Onorato (in her only foray into feature film directing), the movie stars Oddo Bracci as Paolo Castellano, an artist who wants to investigate the death of his ex-wife Sara long after the police declare the case closed. Aided by Sara’s friend Anna (played by Rosemary Dexter), Paolo goes through the hours of footage shot by Sara on her camera, slowly realizing that the identity of the killer is captured on film and his identity might be one of the reasons why the police wants the case closed as soon as possible.
The CD opens with the title song, performed by singer Carmen Villani, a passionate plea for peace and the memory of a doomed romance. The score features a propulsive action theme that Morricone varies and adorns with experimental percussion noises that mimic the sound of big-city traffic. Other tracks in the varied score include a heartbreaking love theme, a nice cue featuring Edda dell’Orso practicing musical scales, and a funny silent film pastiche.
The score was previously released by GDM in 2005. This new edition contains the same program produced by Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler, and it has been rebuilt and remastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated 8-page booklet with Gergely Hubai discussing the film and the score, and beautiful new artwork by Luca Barcellona. Limited 500 copies
長年廃盤だった、エンニオ・モリコーネが1974年に発表したスリラー映画『L'ULTIMO UOMO DI SARA』の奇怪なジャッロ・スコアをリマスターで再発売！限定500枚
トラックリスト歌手のカルメン・ヴィラーニが演奏するタイトル曲で始まり、平和を願う情熱的な曲と運命的な恋愛の思い出を歌っています。この曲は、モリコーネが大都市の交通音を模倣した実験的なパーカッション・ノイズで彩られた、推進力のあるアクション・テーマが特徴である。その他、悲痛な愛のテーマ、音階を練習するエダ・デル・オルソをフィーチャーした素敵なキュー、面白い無声映画のパスティーシュなど、多彩なトラックが収録されています。
今回、第一世代のステレオ・マスターテープから再構築・リマスタリング。8ページブックレットを封入。
女優のマリア・ヴァージニア・オノラート（長編映画監督として唯一の参加）が監督したこの映画は、オッド・ブラッチ演じるパオロ・カステラーノが、警察が事件解決を宣言した後も前妻サラの死について調べようとする芸術家である。パオロはサラの友人アンナ（ローズマリー・デクスター）に助けられながら、サラがカメラで撮影した何時間もの映像を調べていき、犯人の正体がフィルムに収められていること、その正体が警察が一刻も早く事件を解決したい理由の一つかもしれないと徐々に気づいていく・・・ 1974年イタリア。
