Notes
The songs and music from Jacques Demy's movie from 1982 Une Chambre en Ville (AKA A Room in Town) where every line of dialogue is sung (in French).
Une Chambre en Ville was released in 1982, played only a handful of dates and disappeared - and has never been available on home video or DVD. But for anyone who loves Mr. Demy's unique world, the world that gave us The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls Of Rochefort, the score to Une Chambre En Ville will be a major discovery.
For whatever reasons, Mr. Demy did not use his normal collaborator, Michel Legrand, for this score - instead he turned to Michel Colombier, who had not only scored a large number of French and American films, but who also had released a series of wonderful pop albums. Like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Une Chambre En Ville is through-sung. The music is gorgeous, filled with memorable themes - lush, symphonic, and filled with emotion. Une Chambre En Ville was a darker film than Umbrellas or Rochefort, and therefore Colombier's score is more dramatic and serious in nature.
The great double CD set has stereo sound, and every note of music from the film is present. The set is limited to 1200 copies.
