While those in New York, Los Angeles, and Austin are lucky enough to get see Midnight Special in their local theaters, the latest feature from Jeff Nichols will finally expand a week from today. To help hold one over, today we have one of the film’s best elements: David Wingo‘s wonder-filled, otherwordly score.
“It’s ethereal,” he tells GQ, discussing the process of creation. “There is gentleness to the chord progression. The chord progression typical to a lot of church hymns. French horns. Long, held-out chords, with pauses in between. A stately, grand feel to it.” Check it out below, along with a 30-minute talk with Nichols and Jonathan Levine, and a scene analyzation from the director.
Midnight Special is now in limited release and expands on April 1st.
