World Premiere CD Release. Newly remastered and expanded edition. 8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Sylvain Pfeffer. Limited Edition of 1000 units.
In collaboration with Warner Chappell Music France, Music Box Records proudly presents the remastered and expanded edition of Maurice Jarre’s score to the 1964 war drama film Week-end a Zuydcoote (Weekend at Dunkirk), starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Catherine Spaak, and directed by Henri Verneuil (The Sicilian Clan, The Serpent).
After the success of Cent mille dollars au soleil (Greed in the Sun), Henri Verneuil adapted the 1949 Prix Goncourt winning novel Week-end at Zuydcoote by Robert Merle about the debacle of 1940. This big-budget blockbuster allowed Verneuil to try his hand at the war film genre and to work once again with French composer Maurice Jarre, three years after Le President in 1961. In order to illustrate the absurdity of war, the composer wrote a richly and uniquely orchestrated score, based on an obsessive and oppressive waltz and dominated by pounding percussion, from which emerges from time to time the sound of a banjo or an out-of-tune piano.
This expanded edition has been fully remastered from the scoring session elements, featuring previously unreleased and unused tracks. The CD comes with a 8-page booklet with liner notes by Sylvain Pfeffer, discussing the film and the score. The release is limited to 1000 units.

トラックリスト１９４０年６月１日。激戦地ソンムでの生き残りマーヤ曹長（ベルモンド）は、ダンケルクから本国に撤退する英軍に便乗し、フランスの窮状を訴える任務を拝した。分隊の友人にはペシミストの神父や、何かと要領のいい商売人など多士済々。マーヤは彼らと、土地も人心も荒れ果てたその地で英軍船の出港を待つ。その間に姉妹二人で屋敷を守る娘ジャンヌ（スパーク）と出会い、兵隊の暴力におびえる彼女をレイプから救って、二人の友軍兵を射殺する。戦争に醒めきったマーヤでも、さすがにそれはショックであったが、周囲の反応はいたって平静だ。そして彼はひょんな事から英軍船に潜り込むのだが、爆撃を受け、マーヤも岸に流される。海峡を越えることなく、海に浮かぶ無数のしかばね……。ジャンヌと結ばれたマーヤは、すべてをあきらめて彼女とともにこの地を去ろうと決め、浜辺の仮の住み家で彼女を待つのだが……。
