JUILLET EN SEPTEMBRE / LES MAL PARTIS

Demarsan, Eric
Price(USD): $22.80
Label: MUSIC BOX
CD No: MBR-243
Release Date: 2025/02/26
Format: 1CD

In collaboration with Universal Publishing Production Music and StudioCanal, Music Box Records presents the premiere CD release of the original soundtracks of Sebastien Japrisot’s only two feature films composed and conducted by Eric Demarsan (Army of Shadows, Special Section): Juillet en septembre (July in September, 1988) and Les Mal Partis (The False Start, 1976).

For Juillet en septembre, Eric Demarsan provides a thunderous score with a touch of melancholy, referring the imagination of the main character, who has dreams about the United States and wide open spaces. The saxophone/guitars/bass guitar/drums combination dominates sharp strings and powerful rhythmic basses, creating a surprising cocktail. This ambiguous ballet where dangerousness, strangeness and softness cohabit creates a surprising mirror effect between an intimate drama and a thriller.

For Les Mal Partis, it tells the story of a 14-year-old boy who has a passionate love affair with a nun during the German Occupation in France. Eric Demarsan provides this haunting, melancholy yet joyous theme whistled by Michel Ganot. Japrisot asked his friend Darry Cowl to compose the main title theme, arranged by Jean-Michel Defaye.

The two scores have been fully remastered by Christophe Henault from the scoring session elements. The package includes an 8-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Gerard Dastugue and new comments by Eric Demarsan on his collaboration with Sebastien Japrisot (author of One Deadly Summer and A Very Long Engagement). The CD release is limited to 300 units.
