My Take

Korzeniowski is, for my money, one of the most quietly devastating film composers working. Out of Krakow, he writes scores that swell with a kind of aching, sensual sorrow you rarely get from the bigger Hollywood factories. There is an Eastern European shadow in his melodies, a melancholy that feels inherited rather than manufactured, and it gives his music a fingerprint you can recognize in a few bars. He works behind the screen, yet his voice is unmistakable. I tend to reserve my deepest admiration for craftspeople who color the world from the wings, and he sits firmly in that company.
