SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:29 Min.
From 1980’s Somewhere in Time film soundtrack, composer-conductor John Barry delivers this instrumental tune (Track # 3). “The Journey Back in Time” depicts obsessed playwright Richard Collier’s (Christopher Reeve) efforts to desperately will himself back through time from 1980 to 1912 via self-hypnosis.
REVIEW:
Its melancholy is an ideal mirror narrating Richard Collier’s increasing frustrations until his peculiar time-traveling method finally succeeds. As a suspenseful storytelling mechanism, John Barry’s symphonic work is stellar.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8½ Stars
