V for Vendetta Sountrack
From the label’s description:
Dario Marianelli’s riveting score is the emotional bedrock for V For Vendetta, a futuristic thriller starring Natalie Portman (Star Wars Episode I, Closer) as Evey who falls under the spell of, a charismatic masked vigilante known only as “V” played by Hugo Weaving (veteran of all three Matrix and Lord Of The Rings) films. It is a race against time as police detective Stephen Rea (The Crying Game) tries to stop V before he follows through with his threat to bomb Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Based upon characters appearing in the best selling graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, V For Vendetta deals with the timely subjects of terrorism, government corruption and loss of rights, V For Vendetta is certain to become one of the most watched and talked about films of the year.
V For Vendetta takes place in the year 2020 where the ominous atmosphere of government oppression has forced a handful of citizens to risk death by protectively hiding many banned cultural artifacts. “V” is one such individual, and among his treasures is a jukebox. Three of these banned musical treasures (Julie London’s breathy classic “Cry Me A River,” “Bird Gerhl” from the critically acclaimed Antony And The Johnsons and Cat Power’s slinky cover of the Lou Reed song “I Found A Reason”) are also featured on the soundtrack CD.
