Philippe Sarde - Bande Originale Du Film De Alexandra Leclère Les Sœurs Fâchées

Review by Aulia Nasution

Album Review: Bande Originale Du Film De Alexandra Leclère Les Sœurs Fâchées by Philippe Sarde Philippe Sarde’s Bande Originale Du Film De Alexandra Leclère Les Sœurs Fâchées is one of those soundtracks that sneaks up on you. Released in 2004 under EmArcy and Universal Music Jazz France, this French gem falls squarely into the Stage & Screen genre but feels like so much more than just background music for a movie. With its lush orchestration and emotional depth, it’s the kind of album that makes you wonder why film scores don’t get more love outside their cinematic context. The album’s style blends traditional score elements with moments of pure soundtrack magic, thanks in part to Hubert Bougis’ orchestrations and David Snell’s conducting on most tracks. It’s not all polished perfection though—there’s an organic warmth here, likely due to John Timperley and William Flageolet’s recording work, which keeps things grounded. You can almost picture the musicians leaning into their parts, giving it everything they’ve got. Two tracks stand out for me personally: “Montparnasse” and “Une Si Longue Attente.” “Montparnasse” kicks off the album with a sense of movement—you can practically see Paris unfolding before your eyes. The strings swell in a way that feels nostalgic yet urgent, like catching a train while also trying to savor every second of the journey. There’s this subtle tension running through it, as if something big is about to happen. Maybe it’s because I’ve been to Montparnasse once or twice, but the track has stuck with me ever since my first listen. It’s cinematic without being overbearing, leaving space for your imagination to fill in the blanks. Then there’s “Une Si Longue Attente,” which hits different. This one slows things down, pulling at heartstrings with its delicate piano lines and tender strings. If “Montparnasse” is all forward momentum, this track feels like standing still in the middle of a crowded room, lost in thought. The title translates to “Such a Long Wait,” and the music lives up to it—patient, reflective, almost aching. It’s the kind of piece that makes you pause whatever you’re doing and just… feel. What strikes me about this album is how cohesive it feels despite serving a narrative purpose. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, creating a world that feels complete even without watching the film. Credit goes to Sarde, who not only composed the music but also penned the liner notes, adding another layer of personal connection to the project. Denis Caribaux’s mixing deserves a shoutout too—it’s clean without being clinical, letting each instrument breathe while maintaining clarity. And let’s not forget the unsung heroes like Bougis, whose orchestrations bring Sarde’s vision to life, especially on tracks where Snell steps in as conductor. In the end, Les Sœurs Fâchées isn’t just a soundtrack; it’s a mood, a vibe, a little slice of early 2000s French cinema captured in sound. Listening to it feels like stepping into someone else’s story, even if only for a moment. Oddly enough, it made me think about how often we overlook the power of instrumental music to tell stories on its own terms. Maybe that’s why albums like this stick around—they remind us that sometimes, words aren’t needed to say something meaningful. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find out where I can stream the actual movie.
