As promised, it's a double dose of Soundtracking to start your week following our episode on Black Doves with Keira Knightley and Joe Barton. Now it's the turn of Zoe Saldaña, star of another Netflix vehicle, Emilia Pérez. Written and directed by Jacques Audiard, the film tells the story of a feared cartel leader who enlists a lawyer to help her disappear and achieve her dream of transitioning into a woman. Its all singing, all dancing, and quite unlike anything you're likely to have seen - with original songs written by Camille and a score provided by Clément Ducol.

Edward Berger & Volker Bertelmann On The Music Of Conclave
Our latest episode of Soundtracking sees a return to the podcast for director Edward Berger and composer Volker Bertelmann to discuss their new film, Conclave. Stariing Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto, and Isabella Rossellini, the story sees a Cardinal organize a papal to elect the next pop and finds himself investigating secrets and scandals about each candidate. As we'll hear, Edward and Volker struggled more with this score than the Oscar winning one for their previous collaboration, All Quiet On The Western Front. But they got there in the end
