Maurice Jarre - La Tête Contre Les Murs

Review by Adil Bilal

La Tête Contre Les Murs is a 1962 album by French composer Maurice Jarre. The album, which features music from the film of the same name, is a remarkable exploration of the human psyche, with its haunting melodies and intricate orchestration.

The album opens with the titular track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its somber and melancholic mood. The use of strings and percussion creates an eerie atmosphere, which perfectly captures the sense of confinement and despair that the film's protagonist experiences.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Le Passage", which features a beautiful solo violin that is both haunting and uplifting. The melody is simple and understated, but it is the emotion that it conveys that makes it so memorable.
