Mank

United States release December 4, 2020

Mank reunited Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross with David Fincher for a score shaped around the sound of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood. Instead of foregrounding modern electronics, the music uses orchestra, jazz ensemble, period color, and deliberately aged recording texture.

The approach supports the film's black-and-white photography and 1930s setting. Its cues accompany the humor of the studio scenes, the period's politics, and Herman Mankiewicz's isolation while writing Citizen Kane.
