ALEXANDRE DESPLAT - Cheri [CD]


The latest CD release by celebrated French composer Alexandre Desplat is out via Varese Sarabande.

Here's the CD INFO, quoted from colosseum.de:

Set in the luxurious demi-monde of pre-First World War Paris, Chéri is the story of the love affair between the beautiful retired courtesan Léa (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Chéri (Rupert Friend), the son of her old colleague and rival, Madame Peloux (Kathy Bates). Léa has educated the spoilt and callow boy in the ways of love, but after six years Madame Peloux has secretly arranged a marriage between Chéri and Edmée (Felicity Jones), daughter of another rich courtesan. As the inevitable moment of parting approaches, Léa and Chéri try to come to terms with their imminent separation, but the roots of their life of ease and pleasure reach deeper than even they imagine and they begin to understand, too late, how much they mean to one another.

CHÉRI is the latest film from Oscar-nominated director Stephen Frears (The Queen, The Grifters).
