Dario Marianelli

Composer

For his original score of Atonement director Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice, Dario Marianelli was an Academy Award, Ivor Novello Award, European Film Award, and double World Soundtrack Award nominee; and was honored with the 2006 Classical Brit Award for Best Score.

His film credits as music composer include two BAFTA Award winners, Michael Winterbottom's In This World (which also won the top prize at the Berlin International Film Festival) and Asif Kapadia's The Warrior. He has since reteamed with the latter director in scoring Rogue Pictures' The Return and the upcoming Far North; and most recently completed work scoring Neil Jordan's The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster.

Mr. Marianelli has also composed the music for Bille August's Goodbye Bafana, starring Dennis Haysbert as Nelson Mandela; Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm; James McTeigue's V for Vendetta; Michael Caton-Jones' Shooting Dogs (a.k.a. Beyond the Gates); Peter Cattaneo's Opal Dream; Tim Fywell's I Capture the Castle; David Thewlis' Cheeky; Julien Temple's Pandaemonium; Philippa Collie-Cousins' Happy Now; and Paddy Breathnach's Ailsa, Shrooms, and I Went Down, which won four awards at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
