The Road to Perdition (2002 Sam Mendes)

A wonderful collaboration of talents, both in front of and behind the camera. Best take-aways: the calmness of Tyler Hoechlin, the score by Tom Newman (who I just found out is a lovely feller) and Conrad's 'every frame's a painting' imagery.


Edited by Jill Bilcock who's worked with Baz Luhrman on Romeo+Juliet, The Dressmaker, and Moulin Rouge, as well as Red Dog, The Young Victoria, Elizabeth, The Dish, I.Q., Muriel's Wedding, Strictly Ballroom, A Cry in the Dark and Dogs in Space.
