And that also meant that I had to work on my French pronunciation and stuff like that. Ĭocker felt it to "be kind of sincere love letter to French pop music and did not want it to be in any way kind of a pastiche-type thing. He felt the song was so "distinctive" where in other countries, the presence of this song was rare, while in France, "it was almost like a national anthem" due to Christophe's contribution. Poster and Anderson admired the original song over the years, and while recording the cover, he described it as a "fun" process. Īs for the songs featured in the film, Poster felt that they were focusing on French music, using Charles Aznavour ballad "J'en déduis que je t'aime" and remake of the French hit " Aline" (1965) performed by Jarvis Cocker (who was cast as Tip-Top), played in the episode "Revisions to a Manifesto". Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Desplat would record his parts with Thibaudet on Los Angeles, while the orchestra performed the score at Abbey Road Studios in London. They would later collaborate on unusual duets of the score, that had an offbeat collection of instruments such as harpischord, banjo, tuba, timpani, bassoon among varied instruments. To achieve this, he collaborated with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet whom previously worked on Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011) to perform solo piano for the film. On scoring the film, he explained it as "a handful of people at a newspaper in the past, a little place, like a postcard from the 1960s" which demonstrated that the score should not be lush and huge, but instead sparse and clear.

The movie shows that too." He further drew inspiration from French composers Erik Satie and Thelonious Monk.ĭesplat scored the opening sequence and two of the episodes in the film: "The Concrete Masterpiece" and "The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner". But for true love of French culture: literature, music, cuisine - he likes French cuisine. Desplat also admitted that "What is beautiful in this film is that it's a real homage to Wes from French culture. Since the film was further set in France, he also had an advantage of being a hometown-based as well as his history related to scoring several French films. He shows it through poetry, a lot of poetry, and 'Dispatch' has a lot of that." ĭesplat, while writing music, would play his sketches to Anderson where he would give the notes and thereby he would explore and elaborate those ideas, repeating the process back and forth until they found a direction that felt right for the film. But all the subjects he shows in his films are very deep and moving.
Because maybe he wants to protect his emotions. But this depth is always a bit blurred and out of focus. There's humor, a lot of humor, there's a great craft, but the stories are very deep. "When I read the script I always try to find what is behind the virtuality of words, the virtuality of the camera moves, and production design and costumes. Desplat received a BAFTA Award for Best Original Music and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.Įven before the production began, Anderson sent the film's script to Desplat and Poster to design the sonic palette. Both the albums were distributed by ABKCO Records. The score album, The French Dispatch: Original Score released on May 21, 2021, five months ahead of the film's release, and the soundtrack, The French Dispatch: Original Soundtrack was released along with the film, on October 22, 2021, which preceded with the lead single "Obituary" from Desplat's score, released on September 14. The score was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic, featured contributions from pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, collaborated with Desplat on wide range of instruments and orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios. The music to the 2021 anthology comedy drama film The French Dispatch directed by Wes Anderson features of a score composed by Alexandre Desplat, and selections of French classical and pop hits curated by the music supervisor Randall Poster, who were Anderson's regular collaborators.
