La vida de Brian
Conductor
Delirante y divertidísima comedia que relata, a golpe de carcajada, la vida de un desastre de hombre, contemporáneo de Jesucristo, que es confundido por el pueblo con un mesías. Que nadie se confunda: "Life of Brian" no es una amalgama de escenas absurdas que hacen reír, es una brillante sátira que desborda con un humor maravillosamente inteligente. Obra capital de los geniales Monty Python, su gozosa visión está llena de memorables gags que la encumbran como una de las mejores parodias de la historia del cine.

Rail
Music Director
"Rail" captures British Railways at a major turning-point in its history. In certain respects, this was a period of considerable upheaval and loss. There was a facing-up to the increasing need for a big modernisation drive. Full and speedy electrification, or the wider promotion of diesel-power on remaining lines, became a matter of top priority. Geoffrey Jones recorded a rapidly disappearing world of everyday steam travel, with its labour-intensive rail workforce : some of the footage in "Rail" (recognisable from "Snow") dates from around 1962.
