Alex Ebert, pairs with writer/director JC Chandor to score his A Most Violent Year, the follow up to Chandor's All Is Lost, which earned Ebert the Golden Globe Award for "Best Original Score". A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. From acclaimed writer/director J.C. Chandor, and starring Oscar Isaac (INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS) and Jessica Chastain (ZERO DARK THIRTY), this gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay.
