Biff Review: ‘Train Driver’s Diary’ Has Bitingly Sardonic Wit and Authentic Melancholy

Whether a result of suicide, drunken stupidity, or sheer dumb luck, train drivers the world over kill people. You’d like to believe it’s a rarity, but the truth is most likely the opposite. What then is life like for those who’ve chosen this profession? They’re constantly on alert, blaring their horns and hitting the brakes in the hopes they can stop in time. But even the best have blood on their hands. Even the most cautious must deal with the nightmares of accidents out of their control. The weight of this reality isn’t to be dismissed. And as Milos Radovic’s Train Driver’s Diary shows, it can drive people towards insanity. A sense of humoris therefore crucial. They could voluntarily become the next fatality without one.

It’s a “I laugh so I don’t cry” type deal because the painful memories are

Sgt. Pepper at 10 Highlights from the Beatles’ Newly Unearthed Session Outtakes

Film composer Marco Beltrami (b. ) is a two-time Academy Award nominee in the category Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score, for “ to Yuma” () and “The Hurt Locker” (). Trained by veteran composer Jerry Goldsmith () at the USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles in the early s, Mr. Beltrami became one of his generation&#;s most productive film composers since he entered the film industry in

As his long list of credits indicates, he has worked frequently with film directors such as Guillermo del Toro, James Mangold, John Krasinski, and Wes Craven () for whom he scored seven films, including all four “Scream” movies. Throughout his career, the much sought-after and prolific composer-conductor scored numerous mainstream films in the horror and action genre, as well as independent films.

During the Film Fest Gent in Belgium, Mr. Beltrami was honored at the World Soundtrack Awards and was available for this roundtable interview.

Mr. Beltrami, you have scored a lot of films in many different genres and themes. Do you have a specific plan or philosophy regarding what your score should embody or contribute?

When I started out, I just wanted to work, and it turned out that I did many horror movies that I don’t like. I have never liked horror movies, and “Scream” [] was the first horror movie that I had ever seen. But I think, since then, I have mainly tried to be inspired in some way—either I watched the movie, and I have ideas for it, or I find the movie is inspiring in a way that I want to work on ideas because sometimes they don’t come right away. It can be like a puzzle. But I try to find something that will push myself a little bit, and not just do the same thing.

You studied with Jerry Goldsmith. What is the most valuable lesson that you learned from him?
