The use of music in this movie is brilliant, starting with Joy Division's New Dawn Fades. Then we hear Blue Monday by New Order. But what is the song that rocks the party? It sounds like Le Tigre or Chicks On Speed or something... Can anyone help me?
It is Le tigre with Deceptacon. A great song who really rock a party!
shareI'm curious about the music played during the end credits, and at the title screen on the DVD. It's intense and moving, and I'd love to know what it is.
Great film...
The music is "Kari and Phillip Tema" by the films composer Ola Fløttum. The CD with the music from Reprise is out in Norway, but I don't know if you can get it anywhere else. By the way, Fløttum makes some great music under the name "The White Birch" and those CDs are more widely available - you should check it out.
shareA very belated but no less heartfelt "thank you!" I shall try to track those down somehow. It can be awfully difficult finding some things in North America, sometimes.
sharei`ve just seen the film this afternoon and was gonna ask the same question!!!
share.. and let's not forget Turbonegro int he beginning of the movie! I guess that punkband - Kommune - was made up for the story, right? Think that Knut/Euroboy wrote them songs .. ? Btw - Fookin great movie!
shareThe song at the beginning of the movie is "fingerpult av gerhardsen i ræva" by the fictionate band "Kommune" with Henrik Elvestad, a norweagian comedian, doing the vocals.

come to think of it.. Maybe a bit too much; the scene with the Joy Div jogger. Wearing that T-shirt, I mean. Nice detail: The Cramps-record in the background towards the end of the movie.
shareanother nice detail: brygada kryzys- vinyl cover on the wall in Philip's room (brygada kryzys was the greatest Polish band of the '80, they have been reactivated in 2003. their music style - punkedelic -whatever it means :)
shareThe best part was the JR EWING shirt. Seen them many times here in Southern California back in the day.
shareExcept that Oslo west side kids don't listen to Joy Division or Le Tigre. So much for realism...

I didn't like music, some of those songs (from Komunne) sounded actually like some neonazi music.
But I liked Ola Flottum score, it was terrific, very calm, nice piano, it sounded little bit similar to works of Philip Glass, who is making similar depressing scores. But I didn't found his work anywhere on net to DL. :-(

Ola Fløttum makes great music under the name "The White Birch" : http://www.myspace.com/thewhitebirch
I think they ship the soundtrack CD outside of Norway if you order it from this site:

And they ship it to the EU (but not the US and elsewhere...) from this site:

THANK YOU! so much for posting the list of songs played in this movie. I saw it Friday night in NY (best movie hands down I've seen this year!) and I've been trying to figure out ever since which songs were played during certain scenes. They really need to release the soundtrack in the U.S. It's *beep* amazing!
shareAre any of those songs the one that is in the trailer? That is what I am looking for.

I think I heard some of the music from Le Mépris (or Casino) in the beginning of the film. Did anyone else notice this?
Yes, I did. And it made me hate the movie at the very beginning, which was unfortunate, because I could have liked it much better if that hadn't left a bad taste in my mouth right out of the gates.
The beginning was one of the more grating sequences I've seen in films in recent years. I felt that stylistically Trier was ripping off Godard circa-VIVRE SA VIE and Truffaut circa-SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER. This could have been chalked up to homage had it not been for the wholesale cribbing of Delerue's "Camille" from the score to LE MEPRIS. Trier, in this moment, for me, had somehow graduated from wearing his influences on his sleeve to rolling up said sleeve and punching his heroes in the mouth. Just because he went and made a film about talky urban youths doesn't mean he had to over-telegraph his neo-nouvelle-vague status.
That said, the rest of the film redeemed itself, and I was happy to see the same narration technique used at the end without quite so much stylistic indebtedness. It's just too bad that the film began things on such an unoriginal note. For a minute or two I thought I was going to have to walk out.
Le Tigre was the best part of this damn movie.
shareWhere can I find that violin from 14:05? Thank you!!
shareDo you mean the violin music from that film on the TV in Phillip's apartment?
It was a 10-minute film from 1978 called Cesarée

If you read the review it mentions a violin solo from someone called Amy Flamer. But apparently she's very obscure. Finding the music could be a bit tricky.
Thank you!!
