The Chorus (Les Choristes), written and directed by Christophe Barratier, is already a French cinema phenomenon. The modestly budgeted film about a music teacher in a post-war France who wins over the troubled students at a boarding school arrived in French theatres last summer with little advance hype. Defying industry expectations, this affecting tale proceeded to break box-office records. The soundtrack to The Chorus (Les Choristes) features performers by the Lyon-based Petits Chanteurs de Saint Marc and several haunting solo turns by 13 year-old boy soprano Jean-Baptiste Maunier, who also portrays the youthful protagonist of the film.

Combining the visionary imaginations of two premier fantasists, dirctor Henry Selick ("The Nightmare Before Christmas") and author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), "Coraline" the movie is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful, adventure that honors and redefines two moviemaking traditions. Based on the best-selling book "Coraline" the movie is a stop-motion animated feature, and - as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, is unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. The Soundtrack, produced by award-winning french composer Bruno Coulais, sets the perfect tone for the suspenseful and wonderful world created in the film, and features a new original song by They Might Be Giants.
