It’s almost disarming how pleasant John Piscitello’s documentary score is when you think that it’s for a Holocaust movie about Ukrainian Jews who find shelter, and safety from the Holocaust in the bowels of a giant, utterly dark cave. While Piscitello evokes the string-shivering danger of the depths these survivors are reduced to, the main feeling that NO PLACE ON EARTH evokes is a hauntingly beautiful nostalgia for a past, an innocence that can’t be reclaimed.
Think of this gently melodic score as the visions that these people see in the dark, tonal visualizations light and love of homes and friends taken by the Nazis. And given a real life adventure that no one wanted to take, PLACE‘s strong, questing sense of piano-driven strings also evokes the determination to make it back into the world above, bringing gripping comparisons to the similarly ominous work of Howard Shore on a somewhat lighter day. As vividly striking, and lyrical as documentary scores come, NO PLACE ON EARTH reveals notable talent in Piscitello’s evocative work
