Volker Bertelmann

I do believe there was a score.

Let me look it up here by Volker Bertelmann, everyone's favorite composer working these days.

So, yeah, there certainly was a score.

I...

I was very captivated by the score.

I thought that the composer, who is Volker Bertelmann, Volker won an Academy Award for the best original score for All Quiet on the Western Front in 2022, which was a remake.

But...

That particular score was incredibly haunting and very similar in lots of ways to what he has delivered for Clayface.

But then, you know, the history of some of those instruments, the memories that you have associated with them, whether it's, you know, yours, your family's.

I think about Volker Bertelmann's score for All Quiet on the Western Front where he uses his grandmother's harmonium to make like the main theme.

That's right.

You know, there's this deep connection there with him in Germany as well.

And so it's, there's like a sheen to a lot of this that makes it kind of feel mysterious and untrustworthy.

And Volker Bertelmann did the score.

Yes, of course.

Gotta mention that.

Yes, another

great Volker Bertelmann score.

Yeah, and I think there's a cool metaphor involved with Matt being an actor who is somebody who like is always kind of, you know, changing himself to fit the situation.

Uh, and the fact that like, you know, once his career is taken away, you kind of see like, you don't really have like people in your life, you know, you have like, there's like one friend that we see, um, but like, and no sort of like inner resources, you know, there's no plan B going on.

Uh, Kerry Condon, who's Kay Summersby, Chris Messina, who's Crick, and Damian Lewis as Bernard Montgomery.

Uh, cinematography, you've got Jamie D. Ramsey, and a score by Volker Bertelmann.

Um, [tsking] production company, as I mentioned, is Working Title Films.

Um, this was...

You know your music.

I'm really interested to know how you felt watching it with the score by Volker Bertelmann.

What do you think that brought to it?

Yeah, I remember when I first saw a cut and Volker's score was already in, I was astounded by it.

Different German.

Volker Bertelmann.

Oh, okay.

Volker won for All Quiet on the Western Front in 2022.
