La Fille Sur Le Pont - Japanese soundtrack CD

[jimidini]

I finally got my hands on this, and I wanted to put this information somewhere, because when I found this CD in Japan, I couldn't find any information about the contents on the internet. The only page that had the photo of the CD was taken down years ago. The name of the movie in Japanese is "橋の上の娘".



This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time and I'm so happy finally owning this CD.

Director was Patrice Leconte.

It seems the French CD looks basically the same, but there seem to be a total of 26 tracks on the French one, while there are only 17 on the Japanese one.

As far as I know the Japanese CD seems to have been available for some advanced cinema ticket purchase. The French CD seems to have been a print just for some radio stations, I don't know for sure.

The contents are:
Track 01 Istanbul Oriental Ensemble - Hicaz Oyun Havasi (4:03)
Track 02 Humberto Morales - Quién Será (2:47)

"- Maybe it’s all I deserve.
It must be the law of nature.
Some people are born to be happy. I get conned every day of my life.
I believe every promise I hear.
I’ve never achieved anything.
I’ve never been useful or precious to anyone, or happy, or even really unhappy.
I guess you’re unhappy when you lose something but I’ve never had anything except bad luck.

- How do you see your future, Adele ?

- … I don’t know.
When I was little, all I wanted to do was grow up.
As fast as I could.
But I can’t see the point of it all.
Not anymore.
Getting older.
I see my future like a waiting room in a big train station, with benches and drafts. Outside, hordes of people run by without seeing me.
They’re all in a rush, taking trains and crabs…
They have somewhere to go, someone to meet…
And I sit there, waiting.

- Waiting for what, Adele ?

- … For something to happen to me."

It's a shame that there was only a Blu-ray release of this in France w/o English subtitles and the UK DVD seems to be OOP.
