I haven’t seen the film but I want to comment on the score. Three Maurice Jarre scores to Movies by Lean, and by the third one , they start to have more than a family resemblance .
Even the greatest composers for screen seem to have this problem . Off screen too.
Leonard Bernstein- after West Side Story he wrote several pieces but tge best known ,Chichester Psalms still sounded like West Side Story. It took the great upheaval of Mass to shake Bernstein into a new direction.
Ennio Morricone- after tge brilliant score for the Untouchables Morricone virtually repeated tge score for Bugsey.
David Amram- everything he did for film sounded like Manchuria candidate.
