John Scott – Becoming Colette – 1992 (JOS) FLAC + SCANS

Extract from the interview

BSOSpirit: Becoming Colette (1991) recounts the story of Ms. Gabrielle Colette, the woman who was called to become the first female to be awarded the medal of the French Legion d’Honneur. Her troubled life and relationship to her husband Henry Gauthier-Villars just seemed to provide the type of tough-provoking material deserving a score by John Scott. Is this why you called your participation in the picture a labour of love?

John Scot: I do not remember calling my participation in this film a labour of love. It is true that if a like a project I will work on it. The fee is secondary, and in some cases, where the fee might be very small, one might say that I work for love rather than money. As it is, music is my true love. It always has been, and films have given me the chance to become better at the thing that I love.

I am a Franco-file. I have always enjoyed spending time in France. I have made good friends both socially and in my profession, so when I was called upon to provide a score for a real French subject I was thrilled. I put on my French hat and really enjoyed myself. It also gave me a chance to go a different way in my music.

It seems the movies that make the least noise about themselves have some of the finest scores.
This is no exception.
Many thanks for the share!
