- A master of movie music. Born in 1961, Desplat dreamed of becoming a film composer from an early age and scored his first film at 25. He has since risen to Hollywood's A-list with scores for numerous hits, including his Oscar-winning 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' and ''The King's Speech' - for which he won a BAFTA.
- The Imitation Game (2014) Although Desplat captures all sides of Alan Turing’s story in this biopic - from obsession to tragedy via brief tenderness - it’s the maths and mechanics of the code-breaking machines that inspires the most exciting music.
- The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) Desplat’s work with director Wes Anderson is always a blast and here he delivers a quirky, unpredictable - and Oscar-winning - score full of delights; catchy tunes, comedic tics and breezy colours - zithers and balalaikas galore - that charm the ear and match Anderson’s unique and hilarious vision.
