Synopsis

Amazon.com
Richard Gere is the aging romantic in love with the youthful Winona Ryder, except that while Gere is approaching the "autumn" of his life, Ryder's already there, suffering from a terminal disease. The heady situation has its grim moments, but the bittersweet mix of despair and euphoria is what much great art has always wrestled with. Here, it is presented sentimentally. The title track, arguably best performed by Lady Day, Billie Holiday, herself no stranger to life's troubles, is given a suitably smoky run-through by Yvonne Washington. Jennifer Page contributes "Beautiful," a lush pop ballad. But most of the soundtrack is handed over to the very capable Gabriel Yared, an Oscar Winner for his soundtrack to The English Patient. The Lebanese-born Yared draws on his own 25-plus years of scoring films to brilliantly build the drama to cathartic heights without sacrificing the quiet moments that match this romance with the season's explosion of color. --Rob O'Connor

Leaving Summer Behind
goldcoastreviews | 08/27/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The summers of our lives are remembered with fondness of beach parties, picnics on freshly mowed grass, and endless love. It is not by coincidence that film makers and thus soundtracks evolve to transcend our emotions towards seasonal changes. "Autumn In New York" as a movie and music mood setter brings us into our own Fall. A time of hope before winter. A time of love peaking and ending.This movie is a chick flick--and let the naysayers cluck! We are treated to 28 tracks of poignant music which hauntingly fits the movie better than a leather glove. Well arranged orchestrations and beautifully scored songs soothe our savage souls. Almost reminisicent of "Love Story", we care about these lovers. We feel their pain, their happiness and their ultimate demise.From the opening titles-Autumn in New York to instrumental pieces Searching For A Doctor to evokeful pieces, First Kiss, Can You let Me Love You?--this is a soundtrack one will remember long after the movie fades from memory.Your interest & comment votes are appreciated--CDS"
Beautiful music for a bueatiful film!

"The love songs in this soundtrack certainly reflect the sensual mood of the movie. As I listen to the songs, I can feel and reminisce the beautiful scenes with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder in the movie "Autumn In New York". The color of autumn in Central Park, a bridge over a lake, snow-covered New York City, passionate scenes of Richard Gere and Winona Ryder in the movie, etc.It would be lovely to enojy this CD with a glass of wine..."
Wonderful

"I am a movie buff and I like to order soundtracks that are so in harmony with the movie, I remember the music as much as the movie. This is one of those CDs. I listen to this CD and so many emotions come bubbling to the surface! I especially love "Elegy for Charlotte". I highly recommend this CD to anyone who likes soothing music that will actually take you places."
