In contemporary cinema, Alexandre Desplat is a true icon today. Over the last twenty years, he has received an impressive 11 Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score, winning two. On this exceptional occasion, he himself will take the podium to conduct a wide selection of his film music: from the magical atmospheres of the Harry Potter saga to the poetic and extravagant worlds of Wes Anderson and the award-winning The Shape of Water. A unique experience in which the composer himself will guide the audience in discovering the soundtracks on the program, revealing their atmospheres, secrets, and inspirations.
