GRAMMYs 2020: Nicholas Britell’s Academy Award Nominated ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’

The swooning score by Nicholas Britell harkens back to the hypnotic strings of his Moonlight soundtrack, this time infused with sounds of jazz instead of the chop-and-screw technique used for that last film. As in something like In The Mood For Love, the period details almost fade into the background, the film evoking a nostalgic mood without overdoing it on the popular music.” – Birth.Movies.Death

As we head into the end of the year, we take a look back at one of the most unforgettable film scores of the year: Nicholas Britell’s If Beale Street Could Talk!  The Barry Jenkins-helmed film and Britell’s score earned critical acclaim far and wide, garnering eight reviews over at Birth.Movies.Death, including a rapturous review of the score.  The film’s Regina King won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Awards for the film, Jenkins earned a nomination for Best Adapted Screen Play, and Britell received the Best Score Oscar nomination.

Congratulations to Nicholas Britell on your second Academy Award, Best Score Nomination! – Beale Street picked up a total of three Academy Award Nominations including Best Adapted Screenplay, Barry Jenkins and Best Supporting Actress, Regina King! – – “Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk is certainly not what anyone would call a happy film, as its central subjects live as targets of racial prejudice and victims of an unjust system, but it what does beautifully balance out the melancholy is the uplifting love in the relationship between KiKi Layne’s Tish and Stephen James’ Fonny.- – The purity and intensity of their bond is what powers them through a harsh and unfair world, and it makes the movie something special. There are a number of examples of this throughout the film, but the one we will highlight is their post-coital chat, gorgeously highlighted by composer Nicholas Britell’s “Eros.” – – #ifbealestreetcouldtalk #jamesbaldwin #barryjenkins #nicholasbritell #soundtrack #soundtracks #reginaking #filmscore #filmcomposer #newyorkcity #academyawards #bestscore #annapurna #annapurnapictures #academyawards #cinema #indiefilm #academyawards2019 #stephanjames #kikilayne #moonlight #moonlightmovie #moonlightfilm #lakeshorerecords #moviesoundtrack #moviesoundtracks #lsrbo2018 #invadarecords
