As composer
for more than seventy films over the past two decades, Alexandre
Desplat has built a varied and highly successful body of
work for big Hollywood movies (The Painted Veil, The
Queen, Syriana, The Beat that My Heart Skipped) as
well as indie gems. Equally at home with comedies and costume
dramas, Desplat is widely sought after and has won countless
awards and nominations both in France and America.
Desplat introduces a special screening of Jacques Audiard’s Read
My Lips (for which he received a César nomination)
and leads a Q&A afterwards.
Also, on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, Traffic Quintet, of
which Desplat is Musical Director, will perform a concert Nouvelles
Vagues: From Godard to Audiard as part of Crossing
the Line 2007. |

My Lips
Sur mes lèvres
Dir. Jacques Audiard, 2001. Color. 117 min.
With Vincent Cassel, Emmanuelle Devos
Carla is alone and bored with work, but feels limited by
her hearing deficiency. Enter Paul, who applies for a job
at her company, though unqualified and recently released
from prison. Carla is intensely drawn to him, and each soon
learns to use the other as a means to an end. Nominated for
nine César Awards, and winner of three. |
