Cry, the Beloved Country (1995 film)

Cry, the Beloved Country is a 1995 South AfricanAmerican drama film directed by Darrell Roodt, based on the novel Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton. It stars James Earl Jones and Richard Harris.

The score was composed by veteran English composer John Barry, who dedicated it to Nelson Mandela. It has been described by film score reviewer Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks.com as one of Barrys last truly enjoyable efforts. Barry, who had previously composed music for such African themed films as Zulu 1964, Born Free 1966, and Out of Africa 1985, used predominantly western musical styles to complete the score. The music is notable for referencing themes from Barrys previous work on Zulu, augmenting the original warlike compositions into a somber piano theme for travel scenes. The film also features the song Exile by Enya.Cry, the Beloved Country received a mostly positive response from critics and holds an 85 Fresh rating from the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. ........
