Reply To: FSM # 20: Final scores – best and worst?
Francis Lai’s final score was Claude Lelouch’s LES PLUS BELLES ANNÉES D’UNE VIE (2019), released posthumously. Lai died in 2018. It was also the last film of actor Jean-Louis Trintignant and actress Anouk Aimée. I seem to remember sampling this score somehow, when it came out, and it was okay. But we have to go back all the way to 1988 to what I consider his last GREAT score, i.e. BERNADETTE. Then again, there are many scores in the interim there that I need to properly investigate.
(I mean, I quite liked AMORE E LIBERTÀ – MASANIELLO [2006], which I even own on CD, but that was mostly Marco Werba’s baby, I think).
