Soundtracking with Edith Bowman

As promised, we have a second episode of Soundtracking for you this Boxing Day, as Joachim Trier and Stellan Skarsgard join us to discuss Sentimental Value, which is on general release in the UK as of now. Addressing themes of intergenerational trauma, nepotism and suicide, Sentimental Value follows a fractured relationship between an acclaimed director and his two estranged daughters, which becomes even more complicated when he decides to make a personal film about their family history. This was our last Everyman Soundtracking Film club of the year, where we screen a movie and Edith speaks to person or persons connected to it afterwards. You can find every single edition of our partnership at edithbowman.com

It’s a Boxing Day bonus, as we bring you not one but two episodes of Soundtracking in the spirit of festive cheer. First up is Josh Safdie, co-writer, producer and director of Marty Supreme, the film which has been wowing critics across the globe with five star review after five star review. Then, after you've polished off your Christmas Day leftovers, we'll hear from Joachim Trier & Stellan Skarsgård, who joined Edith live on stage as part of our Everyman Soundtracking Film Club to discuss Sentimental Value. But we begin with Josh and Marty Supreme. Starring Timothée Chalamet and loosely based on a true story, the narrative follows an up-and-coming table tennis star who gets embroiled in all manner of scrapes to achieve his dream. It's beautifully scored by Daniel Lopatin

Our latest episode of Soundtracking sees a welcome return to the podcast for the legend that is Warren Ellis, who joins us to discuss his score for The Death Of Bunny Munro, which he composed with Nick Cave. Based on Nick's novel, The Death Of Bunny Munro stars Matt Smith as a salesman who takes his son on a road trip around Sussex after his wife's suicide at the same time a serial killer is operating in the area.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Nia DaCosta, who joins us to discuss her film Hedda, which is streaming now on Amazon Prime as well as other home entertainment platforms. Based on the Henrik Ibsen play, Hedda stars former Soundtracking guests Tessa Thompson and Tom Bateman among a fine cast, and centres around a lavish party in which personal and professional tensions simmer. Hildur Guanodottir's score is predictable fabulous.

We're very excited to be bringing you this latest episode, recorded in front of an audience as part of our Everyman Soundtracking film club. Edith was joined on stage by Kathryn Bigelow, Noah Oppenheim, Greg Shapiro, Rebecca Ferguson and Volker Bertelmann after a screening of Kathryn's Netflix film, A House Of Dynamite. Told non-chronologically and from multiple perspectives, the narrative follows the responses of different US government and military officials after an unknown adversary launches a single intercontinental ballistic missile at a North American city.
