《星尘情缘》是近来奇幻片中比较不黑暗的一部,追求真爱的傻小子,为了向心仪的女子示爱,答应伊人带回坠落的流星,没想到坠落的星子竟然是个美丽的女郎,邪恶的女巫与国王,千方百计想取得星星女的心臟,只为追求自己的青春与永生,傻小子保护星星女展开冒险旅程,最后有情人终成眷属….童话一般的故事,音乐也具备动画配乐的夸张特性,看过电影的人很难忽视本片的音乐,也是Ilan Eshkeri广受好评的一部作品(Filmtracks上评价不错为4星:http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/stardust.html)。
若对古典音乐稍有涉猎,会发现Ilan Eshkeri在影片配乐中取材古典音乐有不少:“Pirate Fight”直接把奥芬巴赫轻歌剧中耳熟能详的康康舞拿来使用,搭配甘草人物海盗们的耍宝,趣味盎然,也点出影片欢乐的调性;德沃夏克的第六号斯拉夫舞曲,则出现在“Flying Vessel”乐曲后1/3的部份,浓浓的乡土味令人熟悉;“The Mouse”则借用帕海贝尔“D大调卡农”的编制与结构,温柔而典雅。
