  • Two Brothers Running Music Credits
    Original Music by Phillip Scott Lyrics: Opening to camera: The film begins with Tom Conti’s Moses Bornstein upside down on screen. The camera begins a slow swivel and zoom in so that it ends up on Moses’ face the right way up, still talking direct to camera. As the camera does its move, Moses speaks to the viewer. Moses: “Okay, the brother … er, our parents died. We’re orphans. We move into a flat, and I look after him for a year, a year and a half… except I’m going crazy. So I leave him with an uncle for three months, except I can’t look the young boy in the face, because I know it’s … it’s really forever. I go to Europe, I write, I publish, I marry … a son… er, maybe three years, a letter arrives. The brother is coming… er, he’s coming by boat, which is what you did in those days. Terrific. He arrives at the docks, Southampton. We station ourselves at the foot of the gangplank, er, we’re early, we’re the first, no one’s come off .. and they start … a lot of people, a lot of people …er, two, maybe three hundred …and every person that comes off … I can’t see him. I can’t see him … did he come off? He must have! People are milling, you know, I, I, I’m in a real panic. Suddenly Barbara darts into the crowd. She’s, she’s got him … she’s holding his hand! But how, how did you recognise him? She stares at me … Moses … he’s just like you … (almost a whisper) … just like you …” The camera cuts to a Citroën pulling into the driveway of a suburban Melbourne house, and the story begins … It will turn out that Moses is, like his brother, unfaithful, and will lose his wife by end of movie, but his brother will provide him with the ending to the screenplay he keeps telling everybody about throughout the movie, a shaggy dog story with a Jewish hero, who wants to be a thief like his father.
