yah. me too!!
would love a copy of the soundtrack –great music
Who can tell me what the piece was that was played by the DJ and string quartet in about the middle of the film? It was brilliant.
Just ordered this on Amazon, the track was Color My World – Lele Marchitelli. You can download as an MP3 on amazon.fr for 10 euro!
Thank you for this… I was just looking for the music.
We no speak americano—–
As an Englishman I must comment that there is no such language as ‘Americano’
The Americans speak a much corrupted version of the English language.
Ugh. You’re the worst kind of person.
Sorry to differ with you. There are actually several versions of American English depending on what part of the country you’re from. The writer is probably referring to the large amount of slang introduced into US English over the years that the British have not accepted. But the spoken English differs all over the world wherever English is the principal language of a particular country, e.g. Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Scotland, etc., etc. Now if you are talking about the written language, I agree that all English literature should follow acceptable traditions and keep the language relatively sacred and leave all slang aside including that which we all know as cockney in England.

Far l amor clubmix bob sinclar
A most evocative sound track, parts of which almost reduced me to tears.
Without exception the audience remained seated, during the final long list of acknowledgements, just listening until the music ended.

I believe it’s called Des Irae. Not sure of the composer however.

I believe it’s called Tia Rubrio but I don’t know who it’s by.
Does anyone know the name of the music played during the wedding scene?
Does anyone know the name of the music they played at the beginning of the outdoor wedding?
Does anyone know the name of the hot track Ramona dances to at strip club at about 56:00? Not on soundtrack.. Thank you.

What is the song and the line dance they do in the great beauty?
