Music

An excerpt from Arnold Schoenberg's string sextet Verklärte Nacht composed in 1899 and beautifully performed by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, licensed from Universal Music and with extracts selected and combined by director Victor van Aswegen.

Niccolò Paganini's notoriously difficult Caprice for Violin No. 6 in G Minor composed in the early 1800s, in a breathtaking performance by South Korean violinist In Mo Yang, also licensed from Universal Music.

Eight tracks of production music selected by the director and licensed through Capasso.

But most importantly: 11 tracks of music composed and produced for the film by the brilliant classically trained Kristi Boonzaaier. Forged in close collaboration with the director into a perfect fit for the edited sequences, it is ultimately these tracks more than any of the others that define the film.
