Music? and other questions.


Does anyone know the name of that beautiful classical soprano-voiced song in the middle of the film (when Anna is really getting into to overnight drawing fad) an who is was composed by?. It's great!

I dearly wish to know.

Does anyone know what north Devon town they visit at the end and is the black ad white lighthouse real or not?

Thank you

Actually, though I own the Paperhouse soundtrack, the full cut of that classical piece is not on there. Well, it is there, but it is edited. However, the piece is done by Gabriel Faure and I believe it is called "Requiem". I actually went out and bought a used Faure CD so that I could have the complete version. lol

The town is Ilfracombe, North Devon, according to the link below.

I would have copied and pasted this but for some reason I can't highlight text on the site. Anyway...
The hotel they visit at the end is the Royal Britannia Hotel and they filmed the scene with Anna and her father in room 6! The cliff where Anna tries to grab the rope ladder is near Hartland Quay. According to the site, the lighthouse isn't there but the rock it was on is, suggesting it was a matte shot (it doesn't look too real anyway, but perfect for the film).

That one is, of course, the one at the end, but I think you were asking about the first one that appears to be in a field in some shots. That one I have no information about, but I'd guess it was made specially in a field as it is never shown in full in relation to the coast.
