| Director Curtis Hanson chooses a lineup of vintage rock and R&B for
the musical side of his screen adaptation of Michael Chabon's brilliant
Wonder Boys. Foremost is Bob Dylan, who contributes a new rocker, "Things
Have Changed," as well as cuts from Blood on the Tracks, Oh Mercy, and
Time Out of Mind. These 13 cuts do a fine job of limning Michael Douglas's
lead character's confusion, regret, and weary-to-the-bone ambivalence.
Smartly sequenced--soul giants Little Willie John and Clarence Carter
fit perfectly alongside the likes of Dylan, Lennon, Van Morrison, and
Neil Young--Wonder Boys the album is a stellar example of hand-in-glove
movie-music supervision. |
