I'm rather partial to Legrand's Picasso Suite. I managed to catch the film, Picasso Summer, on late night television some time ago, and found it strange and enchanting. I can understand why it didn't get much of a theatrical release, but it's the sort of film insomniacs need to see more often in the wee hours. (I understand the animation of the Picasso paintings was done by the Hubleys.)
Of course, I mentioned "Windmills of Your Mind" yesterday as one of my favorite Oscar winners.
And thanks to all for reminding me of Amour, which I really should seek out. I've got it on my must-get list now!
Oh, as for retreats being hasty, and not slow, if retreats aren't hasty they lack a beat and you can't dance to them.
