Behind the Scenes: Randy Thom on Sound Design, followed by Wild at Heart
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Pacific Film Archive (PFA) Theater
(see times)
Two-time Academy Award recipient, Randy Thom has advanced the art of sound design since his apprenticeship under Walter Murch on Apocalypse Now. One hundred films later, he has become the lead designer at Skywalker Sound, building nuanced, emotive tracks for films ranging from the poetic realism of Wild at Heart to the synthetic environs of The Incredibles. Thom will sound the depths of sonic design with an emphasis on tonight’s accompanying feature.
Followed at 8:15 by:
Wild at Heart
David Lynch (U.S., 1990)
Introduction/Randy Thom
Palme d'Or, 1990 Cannes Film Festival
Just out of prison, Sailor (Nicholas Cage) breaks parole to take Lula (Laura Dern), his sizzling sidekick, to California. Lula’s mother Marietta (Diane Ladd), accompanied by a private eye (Harry Dean Stanton), pursues the de facto fugitives through a strange landscape of id-driven anarchy. Lynch’s adaptation of the great Barry Gifford novel, takes us deep into the demented South where, as Lula observes, “this whole world's wild at heart and weird on top.” A hypnotic score by Angelo Badalamenti rides on top of a hyper-poetic sound design in which the most mundane gesture, striking a match, can be a sonic incitement.
Written by Lynch, based on the novel by Barry Gifford. Photographed by Frederick Elmes. With Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe, Diane Ladd. (127 mins, Color, 35mm, From Park Circus)
