Innocence lost

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Soundtrack from a 1977 film with lovely instrumental music, melodious and pensive, slightly melancholic (in a way that some of Erik Satie's composition are), but also optimistic or even cheerful, sometimes at the same time (! ). Nice string arrangements, monophonic synthesizers... A sense of the lost innocence is abound, which reflects the theme of the movie but also corresponds to the same sentiment of my own "lost innocence" of the early -teen years, and perhaps of the '70s in general."
