Review of Birth (2004) by David Y — 28 Sep 2007
Jonathan Glazer's exposure to Radiohead during his own past-life as a director of rock videos stands him in good stead here. His use of music - from Desplat's minimalist score accompanying the darkened doomed figure of the jogger, through to the reaction shots of the ever stunning Ms Kidman as the opening bars of Die Walkure swell over her - is a textbook example of how to add mood and heighten atmosphere.
