It probably has the best marrying of music to visual images of any film ever made. Tom, if you like music you should see the film.

Actually the first time it was more like LBLBLT (Le Bon, Le Brut, Le Truand, I the dialogue was in Italian with French subtitles. Not that it mattered all that much as the dialogue was terse and spare, as were the snippets of Morricone's score. I was familiar with this recording when I first saw the film so I was a little taken aback by the fragmentary nature of the score. The score, of course, fits the film perfectly but you's hardly sit and listen to such minimalism in isolation, so Montenegro made a good fist of it. That doesn't make it any more than lift music for me though. I’ve seen TGTBATU twice, I think, but not for a long time.

Dadaismus - I don't watch many films! I have a DVD of TGTBATU which I got in an HMV sale for 2 quid, so this is one I will watch eventually.
