This is a wonderful movie with two amazing performances, (something of a quandary for The Academy when the Oscars come round again I imagine) but one of the most interesting aspects of it is the work by Atticus Ross and Eugene Gearty (sound department). Wilson started having auditory hallucinations in the early sixties and the film very cleverly creates his internal sound track. Ross supplies an astonishing melange of Wilson’s work. And Paul Dano does his own singing! He sounds EXACTLY like Wilson, a rare case of ‘channeling’ while the subject is still alive.
One of the greatest love songs ever written.
