Paying homage both to the romance of the visually stunning picture as well as the Celtic backdrop, Skubiszewski follows up “Just Like Falling” with the extremely Scottish, lovely “You Saved Me.” Although the film, from The Weinstein Company and Genius Products failed to gain much notoriety in its theatrical run and indeed, failed to open in my home state so I had to wait for it to appear on DVD, Skubiszewski’s score elevates Armstrong’s work into a miniature epic. And given the film’s poor timing following Neil Burger’s exceptional The Illusionist and Christopher Nolan’s dark puzzler The Prestige, it may be easy to overlook a third magical film. However, if I were Skubiszewski’s agent or working for The Weinstein Company, I wouldn’t hesitate to send this soundtrack to as many Academy voters whose addresses I could find. Moving, unique, endlessly unpredictable and artistic — Skubiszewski’s score has pulled off a musical trick of rare beauty worthy of Houdini himself.
