The Childhood of a Leader

Description

Après sa collaboration de haute volée avec Sunn O))), the great Scott Walker returns on August 19 with the soundtrack of the film The Childhood Of A Leader (L'Enfance d'un Chef in French) directed by Brady Corbet with Robert Pattinson, Liam Cunningham and Bérénice Bejo. It is the first soundtrack composed by Scott Walker since his excellent work on Pola X in 1999.
For this new project, Walker continues his long-standing collaboration with Peter Walsh (co-producer) and Mark Warman (conductor) leading an orchestra of 46 strings and 16 brass for the studio recording.
Adapted from a short story by Jean-Paul Sartre of the same name, L'Enfance d'Un Chef is a drama that tells the psychological twists and turns of a young American amid the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the First World War.
