Midnight Special

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.
