Ladybug, Ladybug turned out to be a little black and white gem. Taut and gripping for the majority and a really terrific cast of kid actors. William Daniels and Nancy Marchand are also strong in their roles, but the focus here is really the interplay of the kids.
It's a very quiet, poetic film with a blistering, haunting ending. If it ever shows on TV, I'd recommend catching it.
Cobert's score is a very sparse one- consisting of around a dozen brief pieces, mostly a solo flute piece and compositions with harp and guitar as well. There were a couple familiar Cobert style chords and one short piece was evocative of the gentle daytime tv 'cut to commercial' cues from early DS, but really nothing that similar. Not an easy film to score, to be sure, but Cobert's music helps maintain a mood during transitions and helps the film from seeming airless.
And he's credited as 'Music Composed and Conducted by Robert Cobert' here.
