Le tableau volé (Bande originale du film)

In collaboration with SBS Productions, Music Box Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack of Le Tableau vole (Auction), composed by Alexei Aigui (The Truth, I Am Not Your Negro). The film is directed by Pascal Bonitzer (Small Cuts). Andre Masson (Alex Lutz), an auctioneer at the famous Scottie?s auction house, receives a letter one day stating that a painting by Egon Schiele has been discovered in Mulhouse at the home of a young worker Martin (Arcadi Radeff). Very skeptical, he makes the trip and has to face the truth: the painting is authentic, a masterpiece gone missing since 1939, confiscated by the Nazis. Andre sees this discovery as the pinnacle of his career, but also the beginning of a struggle that could jeopardize it. Fortunately, he will be assisted by his ex-wife and colleague Bertina (Lea Drucker), and by his eccentric intern Aurore (Louise Chevillotte). For this art-world thriller and a study in human nature, Alexei Aigui provides a short delicate and dramatic score with his regular unrivalled style. Le Tableau vole is released in French theaters on May 1, 2024. The album is available on CD and digital version. This present edition also features the three other original motion picture soundtracks composed by Alexei Aigui for Pascal Bonitzer's films Je pense a vous, Le Grand Alibi and Cherchez Hortense (previously released on Music Box Records in 2014) with some previously unreleased tracks.
