Live: Montgomery Mad Max cinéconcert


A final nod to the cinéconcerts that have been held by the Institut Francais d'Ecosse as part of the Edinburgh International Film festival with a mention of Montgomery's soundtrack for the film Mad Max, shown in Edinburgh on Thursday night.

For all Mad Max became a massive affair in the 1980s,and Mel Gibson became a major star, the first film of the trilogy was a low-budget production, carried more by its script and acting than by celebrity cameos and Hollywood gloss like the third movie.

Montgomery, a five piece from Rennes, bring an epic wide-screen flavour to the film that its film makers could only have dreamed of, taking it into the realms of Mogwai or Godspeed You Black Emperor post rock.

Montgomery play tonight (Friday) with Olivier Mellano who played earlier this week performing a soundtrack to the film Duel.

There is more information about the series of concerts in Edinburgh on the Institut Français d’Ecosse's website.
