On January 15th, Caroline Records / EMI Music will proudly present the CD release of the film music for Persepolis, the animated feature film adapted from Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novels.
This young illustrator of Iranian extraction is a phenomenon in more ways than one. As a child she lived through the 1979 Revolution and its aftermath, then as an immigrant in Austria, she managed to combine clear analysis with a fierce sense of humour to describe her life and that of her country in four graphic novels, which altogether have sold over one million copies throughout the world.
Composed by Olivier Bernet, the music for Persepolis is the perfect counterpoint to her books. All the dialogues which hit home in the film are there, as well as heady instrumental pieces.
The songs presented here vary from Iranian disco music and discreet piano ballads to orchestrations that are slightly far-Eastern or in the style of Serge Gainsbourg. As for the words, they accurately recreate the film’s melancholy and bite. The offbeat version of Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, sung by Chiara Mastroianni, is the album’s high point and conveys an instant charm.
Having recently won the 2007 Cannes Festival Jury Prize, the film itself will open in select theatres in the US on December 25th and is already generating considerable advance interest.
