O táxi n.º 9297 (1927)
United Instruments of Lucilin Igor C Silva, electric guitar, synthesizer, electronics - Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ
Program Info: O táxi no 9297 (1927) by Reinaldo Ferreira with a new score by Igor C Silva
The popularity of true crime is not a new phenomenon, as this Portuguese film from 1927 shows. The atmospheric contrasts and clever editing of this gripping crime drama by Reinaldo Ferreira are supported by a new score by Igor C Silva. The composer gives the Lucilin ensemble plenty of room for improvisation and takes care of the electric guitar, synthesiser and electronic effects himself.
Director Ferreira, a journalist by trade, was the Truman Capote of his time, as popular as he was criticised for his speculative crime reporting. However, when a well-known stage actress was found strangled in the street, the police investigation confirmed his hypothesis about the identity of the perpetrator. He translated the suspense that his controversial articles managed to evoke into a stylish murder mystery on film.
