...Invalides, his study of wounded veterans; it was the first of many Jarre pieces (The Longest Day, The Train, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome) that found a sepulchral undertone in martial music. Old masters like William Wyler (The Collector) and Alfred Hitchcock (Topaz) and Young Turks like Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction) and Jerry Zucker (Ghost) called on Jarre to provide music that was subtle and looming, like a shiver in the shadows...
...good time when I was working with good directors. When I was working with Adrian Lyne on 9 1/2 Weeks, I was fine with that. I was fine with Francis Ford Coppola when we did Rumble Fish. It would fall apart with me if I did material for a payday. When you got bills to pay, you've gotta take a part that I would call a piece of crap. Then you just don't like yourself.

Secret deals to divide up the world "just aren't how Western governments or public opinion work nowadays," says Lyne. There's no simple way to solve the complex challenges a buoyant but flawed Russia poses. And it's worth remembering that today's Russia is a very different beast from the old Soviet Union, with its aggressive military posture and proselytizing ideology. That's why every G-8 leader...
