================================
A film involving a violently loud, retired, and suicidal blind man (played by Al Pacino) could have been stricken with a motion picture score to match the surface mood.
Thomas Newman's score for Scent of a Woman delves beneath the surface, and what is found is a set that sounds not only classical but classy.
There is a chilling calm in the music, a dreamlike state, that draws energy from the colors and feelings of autumn in New York City.
Just as one track settles into a peaceful sleep, the strings and violins and drums come marching in, often too briefly, and fade away.
While awaiting their return, the quietness of the "in-between" tracks pulls the listener in until what was being waited for is nearly forgotten.
The soundtrack features "Por Una Cabeza" performed by the Tango Project; the piece served as the centerpiece of emotion in the film
in which the beautiful Gabrielle Anwar takes Al Pacino's hand and learns that seeing music through wide-open eyes is not half as important
as feeling it with the other four senses. Newman's soundtrack believes that too.
