Girl, Interrupted, the movie adaptation of Susanna Kaysen's memoir of being forced into a psychiatric institute, faces the challenge that all films set in the 1960s must overcome: How do you create a memorable soundtrack that isn't filled with the same "greatest hits" that we hear on the radio (or any number of mediocre compilations)? Thankfully,
Girl does have some eclectic moments: The Mama's & the Papa's "Got a Feelin'" isn't a tune we hear everyday, the reflective Jefferson Airplane song "Comin' Back to Me" fits the movie nicely, and Wilco's "How to Fight Loneliness"--though written 30 years after the film's events take place--is a welcome modern touch. Of course, we get overplayed classic rock, too--Merrilee Rush & the Turnabouts' "Angel of the Morning", the Band's "The Weight", and Them's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". But for soundtrack buffs, the real treasures are at the end. Mychael Danna--best known for his ongoing collaboration with director Atom Egoyan--delivers 18 of his most-accessible-to-date (though still rather dark and ambient) score tracks. --
