Jean-Michel Bernard - A pied d'oeuvre (Bande originale du film) (2026) [Hi-Res]

This album is the original motion picture soundtrack for Valérie Donzelli's film À pied d'œuvre (2026). Based on the autobiographical novel by Franck Courtès, the film follows Paul (played by Bastien Bouillon), a successful photographer who abandons his career for literature, deliberately choosing a path of hardship and poverty.

The score by Jean-Michel Bernard, a long-time collaborator of Donzelli and Michel Gondry, blends melancholic piano pieces, subtle orchestral arrangements, and classical motifs (including an interpretation of Vivaldi). The tracks emphasize the shift in the protagonist's life rhythm: from the dynamic world of photography to the secluded and ascetic life of a writer. The soundtrack fosters an intimate atmosphere reflecting the "transmutation" of character described by the director.
