Mica Levi Monos Black Soundtrack

Product Description

Magical score by BAFTA winner, Oscar nominee, Mica Levi (Micachu and the Shapes-band, Under The Skin, Majorie Prime, Jackie) Monos is described as a survivalist saga tracking a young group of soldiers and rebels training on a remote mountain in Latin America with an American hostage played by Julianne Nicholson. The teenage commandos, who have nicklnames like Rambo, Smurg, Bigfoot, Wolf and Boom-Boom, perform military training exercises while watching over a prisoner and a conscripted dairy cow for a shadow force know only as The Organization. After an ambush drives the squadron into the jungle, the mission begins to collapse. Shot on location in Colombia on the Chingaza páramo in Cundinamarca and on the jungle of the Samaná river canyon in Antioquia. Both locations had never been caught on film due to the extreme conditions in terms of access and weather.

What makes the score so remarkable is the sense that the familiar orchestral textures of the prestige Hollywood biopic have been melded with something uncanny --newyorker.com

A monumentally cinematic experience of lush wilderness and raw emotions --rogerebert.com
