Adventure, Drama, 29-May-2023
The Vangelis score for the Japanese film "Antarctica" is a haunting and beautiful masterpiece that captures the vast and isolated beauty of the continent. The score later inspired Mark Isham's score for the Disney film "Eight Below," which tells the story of a team of sled dogs stranded in Antarctica. Isham's score incorporates elements of Vangelis' music, creating a fitting and emotional tribute to the original film's stunning soundtrack.
