Love Lies Bleeding

Description

Clint Mansell scores Rose Glass's romantic thriller, taking over from Adam Janota Bzowski, who worked on *Saint Maud* (2021). His music blends electronic atmospheres, pulsations, and dissonances, reminiscent of Cliff Martinez's work for Nicolas Winding Refn (*Drive*, *Neon Demon*), and accompanies the spiral of violence that engulfs Lou and Jackie (Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian) in their explosive relationship. The soundtrack alternates between ethereal and synthetic notes, creating a dreamlike atmosphere during fantastical passages and reinforcing the dramatic intensity. The dark and airy textures also evoke the imagery and codes of 80s music videos, adding to the film's visual and emotional experience. Mansell's score thus accompanies every tension and emotion, from passion to menace, providing a sonic backdrop to this contemporary drama where love and danger intertwine.
