It seems that Erik Satie, French minimalist composer from a hundred years ago, is having a renaissance in Hollywood. Last week I saw the film 'Elegy', in which Ben Kingsley, amongst other things, is a pianist who likes to play Satie's "Sarabandes" in order to get the juices flowing.
Today I saw bits of the film "The painted veil" (Edward Norton, Naomi Watts), and this too had Satie on the soundtrack.
