Search - Singer :: Ost

Original soundtrack to the 2007 film starring Gerard Depardieu. The script is based on a real-life dance-hall singer, and while the songs play a crucial role in establishing his credentials; they also act as a commentary on the unfolding romance as well as adding considerably to the charm of the movie. The authentic-sounding soundtrack can be attributed to the musicians who act as real-life backing for the singer on whose life the director based the film. The stock-in-trade classics which make up the stage repertoire, vary in mood from chirpy elation to soulful sincerity, from 'The Birdy Song' (not actually sung, but named as a perennial 'request' favorite) to a moving rendition of 'Save the Last Dance for Me'. Depardieu uses his own singing voice throughout is further evidence of the actor's amazing versatility. WCJ.
