I'm reviving this thread. I was listening to this amazing soundtrack yesterday and was thinking, there must be a bunch of unreleased material on this score. I wish some label was interested in digging this up and offer a prestigious, remastered and expanded edition to this gem?
I have always wondered why Zimmer was chosen to produce the score, before he had his own breakthrough as a film composer. He was only 30 when he worked on this. And he never worked with Bertolucci again. Any ideas?
