Silva Screen Records Presents: Tamara Drewe

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Cinemedia Promotions) - In Tamara Drewe, Desplat's animated contemporary orchestral score is driven by tuned percussion leitmotifs. It leads the narrative and underwrites the pauses between the action, enabling the film's narrative to skip from darker to lighter moments. There's an energy driven by both the dramaturgy, the choral structure of the characters, and the dark humor of the film.

Desplat comments 'I let the audience appreciate the moments of emotion - Leave space for the acting moments and the strong emotional moments to be by themselves, without pushing with the music'.

Inspired by Thomas Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd, Tamara Drewe started life as a cartoon series in the review section of the Guardian in 2005, gently satirizing the English middle classes. Starring British stars Gemma Arterton, Dominic Cooper, Tamsin Greig and Luke Evans, the film is scheduled to open in the US on October 8, 2010.

Alexandre Desplat is one of the foremost film composers working today. After composing the music for over 50 European films, Desplat made his mark in Hollywood with Girl With A Pearl Earring. Success followed with three Academy Award nominations, The Queen, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and

Fantastic Mr. Fox. His recent projects have included The Prophet, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and the forthcoming Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (Part 1).
