Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Up at the Villa is very much an old-fashioned movie. It's a romantic drama set in the 1930s, and presented in a way that seems closer to that time than the present. Acting, direction and certainly music all distance themselves from modern Hollywood glamour. Donnagio clearly relishes depicting his native Italy in this manner, and has produced a score of romantic atmospheres conjured by lengthily sustained string parts. Any of the electronic minimalism or catchy melodiousness that seemed to characterise his previous mainstream cinema projects (such as his work with Brian De Palma on Carrie or Dressed to Kill) is curtailed by these atmospheres. There are a couple of spots capturing the pop of the time in a swooning lounge dance-floor style, such as "Party at Peppino's". Otherwise a distinctly neutral tone is sustained which complements a dialogue-heavy film perfectly, but can make for an all-too-briefly memorable standalone listening experience. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully atmospheric., 8 Feb 2008
By M. P. OKeefe "martinphilipokeefe" (London, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a wonderful soundtrack from a great film. It comprises of mainly instrumental background music from the film 'Up at the Villa' which was based on a novella by William Somerset Maugham, as well as a few 1930s dance tunes that have been composed for it.

This is a relaxing CD to have on in the background while reading or you could even play it during a dinner party.
