![]() ![]() Ridley Scott, director of Alien, Legend and Blade Runner, was telling the story of Christopher Columbus, starring the venerable Gerard Depardieu, all to a score by Vangelis which flew off the shelves faster than any film score since, well, Blade Runner. 1492 was massive in Europe when it came out. So fast-forward a decade and a half at least. ![]() My young mind did not process a lot of the plot - and in retrospect I can partly blame the makers of this film - but I did notice shots, sounds, music. It is one of the first films I remember seeing where I started thinking of all the activity that went into making a film. 1492 casts a long shadow over my filmgoing life. ![]()
