Reflections on the Surface | Niamh McShane

This is a show about sound design in cinema. In this second episode, we tune into the immersive sonic worlds of Wong Kar Wai’s 'In the Mood for Love' and Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 'Millennium Mambo'. Both films premiered at Cannes around the turn of the millennium, a moment now steeped in cinematic nostalgia. Niamh McShane guides you through these moody, melancholic soundscapes that ache with hypnotic detachment and conjure dream-like sonic worlds transporting the listener to places that now elude and enchant us.
