As already mentioned, Anne Dudley has written three scores for Paul Verhoeven.
BLACK BOOK, ELLE and BENEDETTA.

I would say, all three are outstanding works of her, even though BLACK BOOK in my view probably the least spectecular. It is a solid sinister orchestral score. Rachel’s Theme is not necessarily an earworm.
But ELLE for me is on the level of BASIC INSTINCT, a thriller score with a recognizable main theme.

Unfortunately I don’t own BENEDETTA on disc, but it is on Spotify.

A lot of haunting religious chorals carry the score.

By the way, I would say, these are three of Verhoeven’s best movies, if not the best.
