Bryce Dessner (Cyrano, The Two Popes, Bardo, Irresistible, The Kitchen) of the rock band The National has composed the original music for the upcoming romantic comedy She Came to Me. The film is written and directed by Rebecca Miller (Maggie’s Plan, The Ballad of Jack and Rose) and stars Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei, Brian d’Arcy James, Joanna Kulig and Anne Hathaway. The movie is set in New York City and follows a composer suffering from writer’s block and unable to finish the score for his big comeback opera who – at the behest of his wife/formerly his therapist – sets out in search of inspiration. Miller & Hathaway are also producing the project with Round Films’ Damon Cardasis (Saturday Church), Killer Films’ Pamela Koffler & Christine Vachon (Still Alice, One Hour Photo) and Len Blavatnik. Alexandre Desplat was originally attached to score the film. She Came to Me will premiere next week at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival.
Dessner’s other recent projects include Zach Braff’s A Good Person, which will be released in select theaters on March 24 by United Artists before expanding nationwide the following week.
