English composer Clint Mansell has produced some of the most memorable film scores of the past 15 years. Best known for his collaboration with director Darren Aronofsky, and in particular his work on Requiem for a Dream, Mansell's distinctively eerie and grandiose sound helps elevate him above the competition, and has seen him team up with the likes of Trent Reznor, Patti Smith and the Kronos Quartet. As part of this year's Melbourne Festival, Mansell will present a selection of his most iconic film compositions backed by a nine-piece band.
This event is one of our top ten picks of the Melbourne Festival. Check out the other nine.
