Quartet Records proudly presents the premiere vinyl release of the brilliant, nostalgic score by renowned composer Carter Burwell (MILLERāS CROSSING, WATERLAND, FARGO, CAROL) for the 1995 iconic film THE CELLULOID CLOSET, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, this comprehensive documentary covers the history of gays and lesbians in cinema, from negative to positive portrayals of gay characters, as well as the challenges faced by actors and actresses.
Carter Burwell provides a score that evokes the romanticism of Hollywoodās golden age, with a joyful and catchy main theme that radiates a sense of exuberant nostalgia, even when the score becomes more contemplative and dark. Burwell often plays with the narrationās ironic humor and the intervieweesā reflections, mirroring reality with melancholic orchestration. The score becomes a bridge between irony and sincerity, between memory, nostalgia, and desire.
Recorded at the legendary MGM Recording Studios with a large orchestra conducted by the composer, the score also offers a touching arrangement of the song āSecret Loveā (from the film CALAMITY JANE), emotionally performed by k.d.lang. The LP is rounded out with a selection of songs from films that were important in the development of the documentary.
This album has been supervised by Carter Burwell, restored by Chris Malone, and mastered by Doug Schwartz. This 140 GR black vinyl includes a package with in-depth liner notes by film music writer Daniel Schweiger, including exclusive interviews with the composer and directors for this release. The design is by the creator of the original art for the film, Juan Gatti.

Let customers speak for us
from 45 reviewsI absolutely LOVE this soundtrack! I'd asked an AI for some chilled-out pieces or soundtracks based on my taste for Sigur Rós and Low Roar, and Volker Bertelmann's score for All Quiet on the Western Front was one of the suggestions. I fell in love with it the minute I heard that repeated, haunting melody. He keeps coming back to it, and the moments he chooses to bring it back are what make it so powerful. The rest of the music is brilliant too. The whole thing just works, and it was worth the trouble it took to track down a new copy and the money I paid for it.
My wife works from home in an open loft upstairs, so she hears everything I play. When I got home from work, this had been delivered, so I logged it, put it on, and turned it up to a serious level. When it was time to flip to side B, she yelled down, "What was that? It was amazing!" After it was over she came downstairs to look at the cover and ask more about it. We both agreed it was the best thing we'd heard in a long time.
If you like atmospheric, emotional music that stays with you, get this one. Five stars, easily.
After purchasing this and an acrylic platter; it really brings color to the room.
Perfect posters! Shipped very, very well. Will buy again! Thanks!
