Deutsche Grammophon will release a soundtrack album for Lukas Dhont’s drama Girl. The album features the film’s original music composed by Valentin Hadjadj (April and the Extraordinary World) who recently received a World Soundtrack Awards nomination in the Discovery of the Year category. The soundtrack will be released digitally on October 5, 2018 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Girl is co-written and directed by Dhont and stars Victor Polster, Arieh Worthalter, Oliver Bodart, Tijmen Govaerts, Katelijne Damen, Valentijn Dhaenens, Magali Elali and Alice de Broqueville. The movie centers on a determined 15-year-old girl, who was born in a boy’s body, committed to becoming a professional ballerina. The drama premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it won Camera d’Or for best first film and will premiere on Netflix later this year.
