"The Informer" (1935)

"Modern re-telling" isn't quite accurate.  Maybe "modern adaptation" would be closer.  Speculates (or modern adaptaion) of Judas Iscariot from the Bible.  The setting works.  Movie is set in Ireland.  What doesn't work (if they were trying to adapt the story all the way):  They miss part of the context of Judas's story.  Also, if they were trying to adapt it all they way, then they would be calling Judas a brute idiot who didn't know what he's doing and is forgiven by the mother of the person he betrayed.  Also (this sentence spoiler alert), he's killed by someone else at gunshot instead of himself by suicide.  No music under any dialog, but it is used very effectively under the non-dialog scenes.  I can see why it won an award.  This movie would be a great study/example for music setting tone, for communicating what is mentally going on within the character(s) minds.  Also included a number of Irish songs (sung bar song style), but the copy of the movie was watching I had trouble understanding any of the words; so, I can't make any assessments on what they did or didn't contribute.
