Regarding Susan Sontag Soundtrack Out Now, Feat. Four-Time Emmy Winning Composer Laura Karpman & Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum; Watch The Award Winning Documentary On HBO

December 23, 2014 Film Music Daily Staff

There are myriad informative interviews in the film, with Leibovitz, Kollisch, Wayne Koestenbaum, Fran Lebowitz, Stephen Koch and others, but this is far from the usual exaltation of talking heads. Instead, with cinematographer Sophia Constantinou, and a haunting musical score by Laura Karpman and Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum, Kates has created a fact-based profile, but with boldly evocative impressionist strokes that mirror the complexity of Sontag’s life and career. -David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle

Out now digitally from Lakeshore Records: Regarding Susan Sontag (Original Motion Picture Score) featuring the score by four-time Emmy-winning Composer Laura Karpman & Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum.

Kates on HBO throughout the month of December (check local listings). The soundtrack CD is coming soon!

Regarding Susan Sontag: Documentary About ‘A Rock Star Of Intellectuals’ Airs On HBO Throughout December, Soundtrack Feat. Laura Karpman & Nora-Kroll Rosenbaum Coming Soon

December 10, 2014 Film Music Daily Staff 2 Comments

A highly watchable film…Kates also dresses the screen with poetical visual interludes — animated type resolving into a portrait of the writer, a naked female torso to accompany Sontag’s sexual realizing that she liked women in a way she hadn’t liked men. (It wasn’t until 2000 that she publicly acknowledged her bisexuality.) These moves are not strictly necessary, but they give the film a dreaminess that suits the subject and complements the grainier, rougher archival footage.

Recipient of a Special Jury Mention at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, Regarding Susan Sontag features a rich collection of archival materials, evocative imagery and accounts from friends, family, colleagues and lovers – including Sontag’s sister, Judith Sontag Cohen, authors Stephen Koch, Eva Kollisch, Fran Leibowitz and Sigrid Nunez, and poet Wayne Koestenbaum – and Sontag’s work, read by Patricia Clarkson.

Passionate and gracefully outspoken, Susan Sontag was a prominent literary, political and feminist icon. As a critic, novelist, teacher, filmmaker, activist and iconoclast, her love of learning and examinations of cultural and political ideas made her both a compelling public figure and a significant 20th-century critic. A complex person, Sontag fiercely guarded her privacy, despite her boldness in the literary world.

Many have missed Sontag’s dissenting voice since her death in 2004. The frequency with which she visited topics like pain, human rights, war and violence suggest she’d have much to contribute to the conversations that whirl around us today and every day. Absent that, at least we have a documentary. –Time Magazine

Regarding Susan Sontag, the new documentary directed by Sundance and Tribeca Film Festival award winner Nancy Kates (Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin), airs tonight at 9 p.m. on HBO (check local listings). Lakeshore Records will release the soundtrack, featuring the score by Emmy-winning composer Laura Karpman and Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum, coming soon to iTunes.
