Motherhood

Matthew Sweet focuses on the theme of motherhood with a selection of music for the screen that's inspried by the release of Pedro Aldomovar's latest film 'Parallel Mothers' featuring an acclaimed score by his regular collaborator, Alberto Iglesias. The programme includes music from 'Mommie Dearest', 'La Ciociara' ('Two Women') and from several more recent films including 'Power Of The Dog', 'Lady Bird', 'Philomena', 'Arrival', 'Tully', 'The Lost Daughter', 'Goodnight Mommy' - all of which explore contrasting thoughts and ideas about motherhood. The Classic Score of the Week is Krzsztof Komeda's music for 'Rosemary's Baby'. And there's also a chance to hear music by Sarah Angliss for Romala Garai's new film 'Amulet'.
