French cinema detractors usually say that there are 4 rules in a french movie:
1 A train scene
2 A love scene
3 Gratuitous nudity
4 A sad ending.
You got it all here with L'Enfant de l'Hiver (The Winter Child), a depressing story of a young father-to-be who can't live anymore with his wife, and runs into a dead end love story with a young comedian. You can't help the feeling of wanting to cut your wrists after seeing this. The director, Olivier "Demonlover" Assayas, is a former film critic. And it shows here. Better stick with what you know, buddy.
The very sad & short score was composed by Jorge Arriagada, whose work I actually like a lot, though it remains very hard to find. The OOP OST was an 8 tracks one, with some dialogues chosen for the mood, and especially put before and after some music. A 4-strings piece of work, very delicate, atmospheric, that will help you commit suicide.
Jorge, here you go.
Tracklist :
1 Même si je veux partir 0:35
2 L'Enfant de l'Hiver (introduction) 2:00
3 Sabine et Bruno 4:53
4 Je ne sais plus rien de toi 0:17
5 Mouvement 0:34
6 Le Rêve 3:27
7 L'Enfant de l'Hiver (fin) 2:30
8 Ca fait dix jours que je suis à Paris 0:55
BTW, if someone has the OST he made for Blancs Cassés (also made in 1989), I'd love to hear from you.
