Classical music and how films used them, and why i like that so much

i'll have to keep editing more in as i remember them, but here is the first batch

Purcell - Oh Let Me Weep - the film - Talk to Her - Pedro Almodovar, with visuals of a performance where a lady presumably in a asylum knocks over chairs

Handel - Lascia ch'ia pianga - the film - Antichrist - the best thing von Trier ever did, graphic visuals in b/w with this music, utterly divine

Handel - Ombra mai fu - the film Germany Year Zero - Rossellini just used an organ rendition and in there a boy, the main character in the film has just hit the very bottom in a war torn bombed out city, and hears it playing, for me it's always meant that God, and all things that are meant to comfort is useless at that point of extreme lowness.

Privegheati si va rugati - composer unknown to me used in Terence Davies Of Time and the City - a masterful fluid documentary on where he grew up
