Milan Records has released a soundtrack album for Natalie Portman’s feature directorial debut A Tale of Love and Darkness. The album features the film’s original music composed by Nicholas Britell (12 Years a Slave, Gimme the Loot, The Big Short). The soundtrack is now available to download overseas and will be released in the U.S. within the next couple of months. Visit Amazon to download the album. A Tale of Love and Darkness is written and directed by Portman who also stars in the film alongside Gilad Kahana and Amir Tessler. The movie is based on the best-selling memoir by celebrated Israeli author Amos Oz and tells of an immigrant family’s struggles even as it positions them within the larger context of a nation’s birth. The drama premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and will have its North American premiere later this month at the Toronto Film Festival. No word yet on a domestic distribution deal.
