Warner Classics will release a soundtrack album for Roman Polanski’s drama An Officer and a Spy (J’accuse). The album features the film’s original music composed by Academy Award winner Alexandre Desplat (The Shape of Water, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The King’s Speech, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) who previously scored the director’s last four features, The Ghost Writer, Carnage, Venus in Fur and Based on a True Story. Also included are two classical pieces by Gabriel Fauré. The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, November 8 and will be available to stream/download on Amazon. A CD version is also being released overseas. An Officer and a Spy is co-written and directed by Polanski and stars Jean Dujardin, Louis Garrel, Emmanuelle Seigner and Grégory Gadebois. The movie tells the story of French Captain Alfred Dreyfus who was wrongfully convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment at Devil’s Island in the Atlantic Ocean off French Guiana in the late 19th Century.
