Anger is an Energy ... [03.2004]
Kevin has just completed a score for Sunlight Pictures' dramatic comedy
The Upside of Anger, written and directed by Mike Binder, and starring
Joan Allen and Kevin Costner. In the story, a mother and her four
headstrong teenage daughters must suddenly deal with life without a
husband and father. A neighbour, ex-baseball star steps in to help.
It's an acerbic, emotional comedy, strongly scripted and excellently
performed, Costner playing against type winningly as a beer-swilling
stoner, and Joan Allen exploring the outer reaches of bitterness in
superbly sardonic style. Kevin had just three weeks to write and record
almost fifty minutes of music, featuring fine clarinettists Tim Lines
and Michael White, and the wonderful bassoon of Robin O'Neill.
