so i went and saw Palindromes last night by Todd Solondz, and i thought it was pretty good. i was expecting it to be much more harsh & disturbing, so i was pleasantly surprised and was actually moved by the main character (or the many main characters) more than i thought i would be. and i really liked the haunting voice of the lady singing over the score. i found this online just now:
"In Palindromes, Nathan Larson returned to a small budget score: "Solondz funded the film himself, so it was just him, me and my laptop," indeed it is the first feature Larson composed almost entirely on his laptop. Perhaps due to its surreal presentation (Solondz makes frequent changes to the actor playing the main character) and its rather bizarre storyline of a 12-year-old girl desperate to get pregnant, Larson says Solondz referenced Rosemary's Baby for the soundtrack. It's Larson's wife Nina's voice you hear on the film's score, and he says Solondz directed her singing in the studio which he hadn't experienced before."
