Hildur Gudnadóttir Discusses 'A Haunting in Venice' Score and Cinematic Influences
Hildur Gudnadóttir, the acclaimed composer known for her work on films like Joker and Chernobyl, discusses her approach to scoring Kenneth Branagh's A Haunting in Venice, a supernatural thriller based on Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party. Gudnadóttir aimed to create an intimate and suspenseful score, focusing on Poirot's internal struggle rather than relying on big music. She also reflects on her collaboration with the late Jóhann Jóhannsson and the influence of his iconic Sicario cue, "The Beast," on other film scores. Gudnadóttir is currently working on the Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux.
