To believe him - and one wonders if one should - the Cloud Atlas Sextet is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Frobisher’s story is told through a series of letters to his lover back home. The book’s title is a reference to the Cloud Atlas Sextet, written by a fictional, young 1930s composer named Robert Frobisher, the protagonist of one of six loosely connected narratives that make up the novel. The task fell to the composing triumvirate of Reinhold Heil, Johnny Klimek, and Tykwer himself, an accomplished pianist who has co-written the scores of most of his films. One of the most daunting challenges concerned one crucial piece of music, which plays a central role in Mitchell’s novel. But the difficulty wasn’t just a question of re-creating Mitchell’s phantasmagorical images. He could also have said, with equal confidence, that it was unrecordable.Īdapting Cloud Atlas to the screen presented directors Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski with challenges ranging from the practical (how to depict 19th-century Polynesia as convincingly as 22nd-century Korea how to make Halle Berry look white) to the metaphysical (how to convey the everything-is-connected grandeur of it all). Much has been made of David Mitchell’s initial assessment that Cloud Atlas, his acclaimed time- and genre-hopping 2004 novel, was unfilmable. 5/12/2023 0 Comments I'm Squirrely! by Brenda LochingerWhen you find your light, you never have to worry about being in the dark.” Rachel awakens and finds her light.
