“Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them.”

Gustavo Santaolalla's most underrated score is from the 2013 film August: Osage County - a 2013 American comedy-drama film that tells the story of a dysfunctional family that reunites into the familial house when their patriarch suddenly disappears.
While the movie had mixed reviews, Gustavo Santaolalla's score is one of his best. It's the closest we have to his iconic Brokeback Mountain score. Impermanence is a beautiful passage, and very easy to play. It reminds me of Gustavo's work on Things We Lost in the Fire.
