We recently brought you the trailer and a couple of clips from Olivier Dahan’s English language feature debut “My Own Love Song.” The film, starring Oscar winners Renée Zellweger and Forest Whitaker is another music based tale by the “La vie en rose” director and tells the familiar story of a washed out singer on the path to redemption. So what makes this one different?
Well, it’s a female centered story — think of it as “Crazy Heart” with a girl — and it’s also been soundtracked by none other than the legendary Bob Dylan. Dylan put together so much material for the film that a chunk of it ended up forming the bulk of his 2009 album “Together Through Life” (which earned him a Grammy Award). Well, there’s no shortage of material left from those sessions as songs from the album along with sixteen previously unreleased cuts will all make their way into “My Own Love Song.” Consequence Of Sound have tracked down the complete soundtrack details which you can read below; we’re sure Dylan fans are positively freaking out.
There’s no details yet on what the officially sanctioned soundtrack release will contain, but we think it’s a good bet that most, if not all, the unreleased Dylan tunes get pressed. We’re also wagering Zellweger and Whitaker’s tunes make the cut on an official release as well.
“My Own Love Song” opens in France on April 7th and will make its international premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in late April.
