Murray Abraham, Yoko Ono, Tilda Swinton, Ken Watanabe, Mari Natsuki, Fisher Stevens, Nijiro Murakami, Liev Schreiber and Courtney B. Vance. It tells the story of Atari Kobayashi, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by Executive Decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies to Trash Island in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture. Isle of Dogs was an Audience Awards winner at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival last week, where it was screened to an enthusiastic, sweatband-clad congregation.
Features Original Score By Academy Award®-Winning Composer Alexandre Desplat
Isle of Dogs is the fourth film written, directed and produced by Wes Anderson that Desplat has scored. It follows Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, the latter of which earned Desplat his first Academy Award® in 2015. All of these soundtracks are currently available by ABKCO, as well as the soundtrack of Anderson’s 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited.
In addition to Desplat’s score, Isle of Dogs (Original Soundtrack) features compositions from acclaimed Japanese films Seven Samurai and Drunken Angel, American composer/musician Kaoru Watanabe’s taiko drumming, and off-beat tracks by the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band and The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra. The soundtrack is produced by Wes Anderson and his longtime collaborator Randall Poster.
