The complete soundtrack for West Anderson movie ‘Asteroid City’
The complete soundtrack for Wes Anderson’s new film Asteroid City has now been released. The movie stars the likes of Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston and Edward Norton.
It takes place at a junior stargazing competition in 1950s America and sees the above actors join forces with several other longtime Anderson collaborators and many new faces.
The soundtrack for the film has been created by Alexandre Desplat, who’d previously worked with Anderson on a number of his films, including Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Isle Of Dogs.
Asteroid City sees many notable musicians and artists feature on the soundtrack. You can check it out in full below.
In Far Out’s review of Asteroid City, we wrote, “Asteroid City feels expansive in its sprawling ensemble cast, narrative structure and philosophical themes, but it’s all wrapped up neatly and tidily within two hours, a proud demonstration of the economy of cinema.”
The review added: “Ultimately, the film is a heartfelt, engaging and surprisingly compelling success story that heralds a return to form from an auteur director who has gained a new sense of modesty and humility.”
