Product Description: In the height of the Cold War, and we are in Mexico City. Filiberto Garcia is a sixty-year-old Mexican policeman. Over the course of his life he has killed people: men, women, a priest. But what he once did to help his country transform itself into something better, he now does strictly as a job. By the 1960s, the Mexican politicians have long since betrayed the Revolution. Cold, duplicitous figures who occupy offices in their suits now pull the strings. They of course kill also, but they never do the dirty work themselves. They need others to do it for them, and that's where Garcia, comes in. Damn International intrigue.
"It was a tremendous challenge to write the score for "El Complot Mongol" (The Mongolian Conspiracy). We had to come up with a unique sound for this Film Noir / Black Comedy by blending several old fashion styles, like a Mambo Ensemble, a Jazz Combo, a mid-size Orchestra, Latin Percussions, Chinese and Russian traditional styles and Instruments, all from very different musical worlds which the film depicts constantly.
We had clear inspiration in the James Bond iconic scores by John Barry and Lalo Schifrin´s Mission Impossible (1966), the eternal Pink Panther score by Herny Mancini, and also, many of the Film Noir composers from the 1940´s like Adolphe Deutsch and his German Expressionism to the Bernard Herrmann´s jazzy sexy and nostalgic saxophone of Taxi Driver (1976).
Mexico also has a tradition in Film Noir mainly around the 1940´s and 50´s, and it was quite important to analyze composers like Raúl Lavista´s work for films like "La Otra" (The Other, 1946) or "Distinto Amanecer" (Another Dawn, 1943) where we also found a clear influence of German Expressionism mixed with French Romanticism and traditional Mexican Music.
The score went to different stages, it was not easy to find the right track for every style the film needed. There were moments of pressure. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure to embrace this project as a team and put all our love into every single piece until the very last day, and most importantly, to make our director happy with the final result. We certainly hope people can enjoy the film and the score as we enjoyed the entire process of making it happen."
