“Testament of Youth is a powerful story of love, war and remembrance, based on the First World War memoir by Vera Brittain, which has become the classic testimony of that war from a woman’s point of view. A searing journey from youthful hopes and dreams to the edge of despair and back again, it’s a film about young love, the futility of war and how to make sense of the darkest times.”
The score of “Testament of Youth” was composed and directed by German Max Richter, one of the most respected film composers of his generation (“Waltz with Bachir”; “Sarah’s Key”; “The Congress”; “The Lunchbox”…).
“There are very few composers who retain their own voice in film like Max. His interior aesthetic – those long held strings releasing gorgeous melodies – are more akin to sonorous tone poems. Max’s film scores successfully surround great acting, turning each moment into an aching, often sorrowful truth. […] Out of that creative cauldron emerges the extraordinary beauty and humanity of Max's score for Testament of Youth. Somehow by combining German profundity with Anglo-Saxon pragmatism Max captures brilliantly the beating heart that is Vera Brittain. He conjures the joy of her youth, the fire of her ambition, the depth of her love, the tragedy of her grief and the anger of her despair.”
– James Kent, director of “Testament of Youth”
