The author also investigates the film's critical and historical contexts and ultimately presents a detailed analysis of the complete soundtrack to the film.
Proposing an innovative analytical methodology that intersects semiotics and cognitive psychology, this volume offers a unique insight into the film and its music. As such, David Shire's The Conversation: A Film ScoreGuide will be of interest to film scholars, music scholars, and fans of the composer's work.
