Found this link: Tribeca: Your music choices were interestinga lot of punk, post-punk. It seemed like you were commenting on Carlos view of himself as this terrorist rock star. Assayas: Well, thats part of it. There are those Wire tracks at Carlos rock star moment. Theres one specific momenthes driving out of the Algiers airport, the press is waiting for him, and he kind of lowers the cars window, looks at them, and he throws his cigar out, and then asks the chauffeur to drive. He actually did that. Its just demented. http://www.tribecafilm.com/news-features/features/Carlos_Olivier_Assayas.html Another link: CS: We have to wrap up, but I wanted to quickly ask about the music, because you've always had really great taste in music but for this, you didn't go for a traditional score and you didn't really go for anything specifically from the period, but you used a lot of New Order and Wire and punky music but not specifically from the year we're seeing on screen. Assayas: I know, but you know, I can't give you a correct answer to this. I have no idea why. I tried period music, I tried everything, it's just that the film kind of rejected it. I had no idea what kind of music I was going to use, I had no preconception. All my initial choices were wrong, so at one point, I was nowhere and (thought) maybe the film didn't want any music, but still, at some point, I just looked into my music library and just copied like 50 tracks, and thought, "I will do it via a process of trial and error" and somehow, luckily, I for some reason I tried this track by the Feelies at the beginning of the film, and all of a sudden it worked. It was like magical. All of a sudden you just have stuff that doesn't work, that seems completely redundant and boring or with the wrong energy and all of a sudden, you have this music that lifts the whole thing up and you're like "Wow," so that was the starting point. Once I had the first Feelies track, I sort of understood the energy the film wanted and needed, so I knew which direction to go, so I started using pop songs, I started using post-punk like Wire even though it was much later. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=70404 ============ > I saw Olivier Assayas's nearly six hour long 'Carlos' earlier today > (about Carlos the Jackal) and was somewhat surprised to find the > soundtrack drenched with Wire - Ahead, Dot Dash (twice), Drill, and, > um, something else I've forgotten now.
