The second is all about holding off the orgasm as long as possible, and Desplat's suspensions are well applied here - the moment when Tony can't hold it off any longer, the melody associated with their flirtation ('Dinner Waltz', normally for piano) appears in the harp, gently gliding down from that place of suspension. The third sex scene is done as a suspense scene - also very masterful in its choices.<BR/><BR/>- Cyril Morin's music for SAMSARA... there the orgasm is the this love theme based on a Mongolian violin against a string section and ethnic flutes. It's gorgeously lyrical, and locates the embrace of Tashi and Pema within a conventional 'lovemaking-as-love-declaration' reading.<BR/><BR/>The Opinionated australianMichaelMclhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641747114551386727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-642087658565299272008-10-23T17:42:00.000-04:002008-10-23T17:42:00.000-04:00I totally agree with Vanwall, the beauty of this s...I totally agree with Vanwall, the beauty of this story is that it tells you everything you need to know (more than you want, probably) about what kind of lay Selznick was.The Sirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587505433284584391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-89746518215617640132008-10-23T15:18:00.000-04:002008-10-23T15:18:00.000-04:00I bet Selznick's was shorter than required and...I bet Selznick's was shorter than required and full of tuba huffs & grunts.
