Chinatown - Jerry Goldsmith

Hard to express how perfect this score is. Written allegedly in under two weeks, Goldsmith’s genius is on display in every possible way…stylistic mastery of jazzy noir and ornate chamber music alike. Perfectly tune-like and out of the way of the masterpiece cinema. Criminal Oscars loss, but there are many. Cool article about the process and reception over the decades since.
