Editorial Review

Director Wes Anderson's jewel of a comic-character study revolves around the quirks and obsessions of Bill Murray's titular Cousteau-esque deep-sea adventurer and his motley crew of associates. As they did for the director's equally sublime Royal Tenenbaums, Anderson and music super Randall Poster stitch their eclectic source material into a warm, subtly focused new cinemusic whole. Mark Mothersbaugh's original Casio-baroque cues are the perfect complement for Australian film composer Sven Libaek's compelling slices of vintage exotica, while Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie largely provides the musical subtext, either directly or in earnest, through live acoustic renditions by Brazilian troubadour/film costar Seu Jorge. Seasoning the mix to near perfection are smart, vintage Britpop contributions by Scott Walker and the Zombies, Iggy and the Stooges thrashing "Search and Destroy," the evocative Iberian fire of Paco DeLucia, and Joan Baez's dramatic read of Morricone's Sacco & Vanzetti theme, "Here's to You." -- Jerry McCulley

5 Awesome
A truly great soundtrack and a hilarious movie. Clearly Willem DeFoe's finest screen presence to date!

Rating:

5 goes well with the Lisa Gerrard soundtracks
a crowning jewel in the realm of movie soundtracks. I was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery of this film and completely taken aback by the gorgeous renditions of Bowie's finest, as well the miscellaneous others. It took a genius listening ear to put this amazing collection together and know that it would elevate the entire film to majestic heights!

Rating:

5 This is Kick Ass
Not only do the Portuguese versions of Bowie astound, the rest of the soundtrack is a great mix of songs and bands that deserve to be heard. It's ecclectic, underwater, and anything involving David Bowie must be, in part, from outer space.
