A Horse Records has released a soundtrack album for the Lebanese romantic comedy drama A Sad and Beautiful World. The album features the film’s original music composed by Anthony Sahyoun (The Money, Peter Lindbergh – Women’s Stories). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon and any other major digital music services. Also listen to the composer’s title track after the jump. A Sad and Beautiful World is co-written and directed by Cyril Aris and stars Mounia Akl, Hasan Akil, Julia Kassar, Tino Karam, Camille Salameh and Nadyn Chalhoub. The movie is set in Beirut and follows two star-crossed lovers, one an eternal optimist and the other an impulsive pragmatist, who must decide if they want to build a family, despite the tragic fates ravaging contemporary Lebanon. The dramedy, which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival and was selected as Lebanon’s entry for this year’s Academy Awards,, will open in Lebanese theaters this Thursday, January 29 and is set to be released in other European markets (including France and Spain) next month.
