Secret Places

With the release of a new telling of the classic book The Secret Garden, with a score by Dario Marianelli, Matthew Sweet looks at this and other music for cinematic secret worlds.

With the cinematic release of a new telling of the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett children鈥檚 book The Secret Garden, featuring a score by Dario Marianelli, Matthew Sweet looks at this and other music for secret worlds in film. From the fantasy worlds of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland and C.S Lewis's Narnia, to the dinosaur ridden terrains of Jurassic Park and the Valley of Gwangi, the mind of John Malkovich, and the labyrinth of Pan. Our classic score is Dmitri Tiomkin's music evoking the mystical utopia of Shangri-la in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon.
