Description

ANNETTE, the muchanticipated new film from LEOS CARAX, is set to open the 74th Cannes Film Festival on 6 July 2021 and will go on general release in France on the same date. Based on an original story and music by Ron and Russell Mael, the brothers behind the flamboyant band SPARX, ANNETTE began life as an unreleased album but was transformed into a musical after they met Carax. Having successfully maintained a fivedecadelong career as one of the worldrsquos most innovative and creative bands, it comes as no surprise that their collaboration with the visionary French director has resulted in a unique piece of filmmaking. The original soundtrack to ANNETTE, with lyrics cowritten by SPARKS and LEOS CARAX and music composed and performed by SPARKS, features vocals from the stars of the film Adam Driver Henry, Marion Cotillard Ann and Simon Helberg The Conductor. Produced by SPARKS and Marius de Vries, music director of La La Land and Moulin Rouge Sparks CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £12
