Little Amelie

Description

Soundtrack of the film "Little Amélie" adaptation of Amélie Nothomb's ninth novel, "Metaphysique des tubes", published in 2000 and a huge literary success.From Tokyo, Mari Fukuhara composed an airy and playful score for the film. She blends impressionist piano (Ravel is never far away), childhood timbres (marimba, traditional Japanese songs) and orchestral textures. The shakuhachi (flute) and koto introduce a Japanese touch that is sometimes lyrical, sometimes mischievous. The result is a personal and universal reading and listening experience.This album is listened to like a standalone musical tale, both evocative and deeply intimate.
