From "Star Wars" to "Indiana Jones", not forgetting "Superman’" the great love themes nourish the musical work of John Williams. He also wrote the love themes for "How to Steal a Million" (1966), "Fitzwilly" (1967), "Jane Eyre" (1970), "Paper Chase" (1973), "Always" (1989), "Stanley and Iris" (1990) and "Sabrina" (1995). Deeply imbued with European romantic music, John Williams has extended and reinvented love melodies in the cinema of the last five years, in both symphonic and intimate ways. His career as a jazz musician in the 1950s and 60s, followed by the tragic loss of his wife in 1974, lend special colours not only to his love themes but also to the images in his films.
Alexandre Vuillaume-Tylski is a writer-director for Arte's "Blow Up" programme, a lecturer at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Audio Visuel, and has taught at the California Institute of the Arts and the American University of Paris. The author of ten books on cinema (including the first book in French devoted to John Williams), he has produced ten documentaries for France Culture (including portraits of composer-cinematographer duos). He has interviewed and followed the concerts of many composers, including Martial Solal, John Williams, Maurice Jarre, Jerry Goldsmith, Philippe Sarde, Gabriel Yared, Alan Silvestri, Bruno Coulais, Ennio Morricone, Antoine Duhamel and Danny Elfman.
