what track is played over the opening credits?

A wonderful film in two movements. Some of the energy is lost in the second part, and the "troubled son" thread seemed unnecessary or at least undeveloped, but still a very powerful, thoughtful film. The children are unusually good, adding to the heartache when tragedy visits. I had read good things about this fine film and was not disappointed. Highly recommended.

A minor fault, imo, is the use of the Doris Day song at the close. We already had a bit of cheese with Lee Hazelwood (a guilty pleasure, I'll admit), but I think a Brel tune, or better yet the great Piaf would have been more appropriate for the close. Let the little sparrow fly!
