Goodbye, Lover / 1999 < Back to Goodbye, Lover page Composed

Director's Quote

"Goodbye Lover turns fantasy on its head to look at the world as it probably really is. Or then maybe it isn't. This film needed a special kind of music. It needed to be knowing, mysterious, and not be afraid to have its tongue in its cheek when it could find it - its tongue, that is, not its cheek; it always knew where that was.

John wrote a beautiful score, completely understanding the subtle line this movie treads between what is and what isn't. He helped make the movie fun, intriguing and just a little bit dangerous, which if we're lucky, maybe just what life is. I felt lucky to have John do the score." - Roland Joffé
