Music by Dario Marianelli
Arranged by Mercuzio
Asif Kapaida directed Ali and Nino ( 2016), a British-Azerbaijani film based on Kurban Said's 1937 novel.
During the Russian Empire, Ali and Nino fall in love. Ali is a Muslim from Azerbaijan who lives in the oil-rich city of Baku, in the family's Shirvanshir Palace. Nino is a Georgian Orthodox Christian whose wealthy Kipiani family also lives in Baku. Ali's friend, Malik, agrees to help bring the aristocratic parents to accept a marriage. World War I breaks out in Europe.
A simple, folky and very lovable melody from Dario Marianelli this time, repeating in different garbs. Must have been a thrill for the composer to discover it. Reminds me of what someone said about Franz Schubert: He loved his themes so dearly, that's why he played them over and over again.
