About This Item
Reuniting with Ridley Scott on Matchstick Men (2003) was composer Hans Zimmer, who had scored his previous three films and would go on to score several more. Zimmer, like Scott, sparked to the humor of the story and wrote a delightful, Nino Rota-flavored InchFelliniesqueInch score. This lighthearted approach caused no end to the drama behind the scenes, as the studio insisted upon a more serious tone. However, the film was released to critical acclaim, validating the filmmakers' intentions. Var?se Sarabande released a 22-track, 56-minute soundtrack at the time of , including several of the licensed songs that complement Zimmer's music in the film. This Deluxe Edition is a 30-track, 79-minute program of solely Zimmer's score (including additional cues by and with Geoff Zanelli, Jim Dooley and Bruce Fowler). The behind-the-scenes conflicts are documented in Kaya Savas' new liner notes, including a Q&A interview with Zimmer that, like his music, never fails to entertain. Album Tracks 1. Flim Flam 2.
