People Say:

Tilda Swinton in 'War Requiem' by Derek Jarman, Benjamin Britten remake,
I'm sure Benjamin Britten was a decent enough bloke but too much of his music is so painfully anguished that I can't bear to listen to it.
For the record, Benjamin Britten's mixed-meter fugue at the end of Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra is genius. Genius, I say.
Mensaje: "Aprender es como remar contra corriente, en cuanto se deja, se retrocede". Edward Benjamin Britten.
Also Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom is a version of Benjamin Britten's Noye's Fludde (the opera at the church in the film)
