* Shutter Island, according to director Martin Scorsese, is constructed around many 'different levels of reality'. In this latest episode of 'Listening in', I analyse how the score for the film, made up a number of pieces from classical, modern and contemporary composers like György Ligeti, John Cage and Max Richter, gives us clues throughout about the true nature of what we are seeing on screen. In particular, I focus on the use, and function, of Ingram Marshall's 'Fog tropes, Krzysztof Penderecki's 'Passacaglia' from his third symphony and Gustav's Mahler's 'Quartet for Piano and Strings in A minor'.
