He wrote and directed the tasty The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover in 1989, a brilliant film starring Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though, his filmography spans over 5 decades and is bound to contain more gems – The Draughtsman’s Contract is next on my list.

EDIT OCT’09 So yeah, just watch The Cook… and The Draughtsman’s… and you better love them and their Nyman music scores. That is it.

Discovered them just yesterday, they’re pretty great. The band’s full name is …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead and, who would’ve thought, the main guy is somewhat of a pretentious faggot. But fact is, he’s talented and writes some blindingly good tunes. The new album, The Century of Self (hmm.. I wonder why the name attracted me ) has a fair share of them, and the one that’s quickest to own some souls is ‘Isis Unveiled’.

Here’s a video for the shorter version, I thought it was cool.

By the way, dredg released an excellent new pop album, you should probably check it out if you haven’t already.
