We are proud to present Zbigniew Preisner’s score for Fernando Trueba’s movie Haunted Heart.

The gripping thriller starring Matt Dillon reunites director Fernando Trueba and his composer Zbigniew Preisner, who made a name for himself internationally with Kieslowski’s Dekalog and the Three Colours Trilogy. For his new film, Preisner developed a sultry and suspenseful score that captures the thrill of a blossoming relationship and the danger that Alex finds herself in. As Preisner elaborates: “I wrote the music from the perspective of mystery that is present all the time in Max and Alex’s relationship. Alex, a young, open woman full of emotions, is entangled in those secrets. I wanted to describe the mystery that entwines their relationship musically.” For that purpose, the composer used an orchestra, solo woodwinds, and electronic instruments. One of the highlights of the score is his new arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Alexandra Leaving, here recorded by guitarist Javier Mas and singer Sofia Cordoba.
