I would be rather interested to find out how it's possible that Mychael Danna's score for The Ice Storm has been one of my favourite soundtrack for years without me ever seeing the film itself before. In any case, this is one of those movies where it's kind of impossible for me to make my own opinion of them because I remember it being one of my mum's favourite films, and all of my mum's films become shrines and mementos of her and as such I cannot consciously or unconsciously question them.
Nevertheless, I can say that apart from that deliciously melancholy music I was deeply touched by the interplay of what was going on in the story with the enviroment where it was happening: naked trees, dead leaves on the ground, wind, cold, that depersonalized house, and of course ice.
