Cinéma Defacto & Miyu Productions have released a soundtrack album for the animated feature Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (Saules aveugles, femme endormie). The album features the film’s original music composed by Pierre Földes (12 and Holding, From Other Worlds) who has also made his directorial debut on the movie. The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon (and most other major digital music services), where you can also check out audio samples. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman written and directed by Földes is based on stories by Japanese author Haruki Murakami and follows a giant talking frog and an elusive cat who help a listless bank employee, a lonely accountant and his traumatized wife seek meaning in their lives and possibly save Tokyo from catastrophe. The movie premiered at last year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival and is being released in French theaters today. Zeitgeist Films, in association with Kino Lorber, has picked up domestic distribution rights for a release in U.S. theaters on April 14.
