Jean-Benoît Dunckel, the cofounder of the iconic electro band AIR and a solo artist, has chosen of the films whose score he’s written – the just as iconic Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola’s debut movie and a generational film in its own right. Teenage turmoil, teenage gracefulness and distress are underscored by AIR’s dark, trippy music, the band’s first score for film. This is a wise choice as the film score has become as famous as the film itself.
