The Orchard will release a soundtrack album for the period drama The Young Karl Marx. The album features the film’s original music composed by Alexei Aigui. The soundtrack will be released digitally this Friday, February 23 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon, where you can also listen to audio samples. The composer’s score is also available on a soundtrack album, which also features his music for I Am Not Your Negro and was released physically last year. The Young Karl Marx is directed by Raoul Peck and stars August Diehl, Stefan Konarske, Vicky Krieps, Hannah Steele, Olivier Gourmet and Alexander Scheer. The movie explores the origins of the international Socialist movement, the emergence of the Communist League, and its founding document, the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. The drama premiered at last year’s Berlin Film Festival and will be released in select U.S. theaters this coming weekend by The Orchard.
