Lucien Nicolet has recently scored the upcoming drama Amnesia. The film is directed by Barbet Schroeder and stars Marthe Keller, Max Riemelt, Bruno Ganz, Joel Basman and Corinna Kirchhoff. The movie is set in Ibiza and follows a 25 year-old music composer who wants to be part of the nascent electronic music revolution, ideally by getting a job first as a DJ in the new nightclub on the island, Amnesia. Schroeder also co-wrote the screenplay with Emilie Bickerton, Peter Steinbach and Susan Hoffman. Margaret Menegoz (Amour, The White Ribbon) is producing the project with Ruth Waldburger (The Turin Horse). Schroeder has previously collaborated with such composers as Howard Shore (Single White Female, Before and After), Clint Mansell (Murder by Numbers), Trevor Jones (Kiss of Death, Desperate Measures) and Mark Isham (Reversal of Fortune). Nicolet is best known as a DJ and electronic music producer under his stage name Luciano. The project marks his first assignment in film music. Amnesia will premiere over the next week at the Cannes Film Festival.
