My favourite Film Soundtrack would be ‘Beautiful Boy (2018)‘ Directed by Felix Van Groeningen.

‘Beautiful Boy’ tackles the trials and tribulations of father and son connection and the way drugs and addiction can tarnish the relationship. Written by John Lennon, the classic song ‘Beautiful Boy’ appears in the climax of the movie, it pays homage to the name of the movie and allows Steve Carrel, who plays David Sheff (the father), to softly sing the song and allow the song to fade in to a cathartic montage. This is called a ‘Jukebox score’

Additinally, the movie includes the song: ‘Sunrise, Sunset’ by Perry Como. This song acts as a way for the director to tell the story of Nic Sheff relapsing in a fast-paced yet really captivating way. This movie has what we call a ‘Contrapuntive scoring’ as the song is elegant and emotive whereas the topic of drugs and losing your son is traumatic.
