SOUTHLAND TALES Film & Soundtrack Album (2006)

SOUTHLAND TALES film

Southland Tales is a dystopian black comedy thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly. The film was premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, and was released theatrically in the United States on November 14, 2007. It features an ensemble cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, and Justin Timberlake. An international co production of the United States and Germany, the film is set in the then-near future of 2008, and is a portrait of Los Angeles, as well as a satiric commentary on the military–industrial complex and the infotainment industry. The title refers to the Southland, a name used by locals to refer to Southern California and the Greater Los Angeles area. Original music was provided by Moby.

The film polarised critics, who responded unfavourably to its running time and sprawling nature in spite of its “intriguing vision”, and only made $374,743 during its international theatrical run. Despite this, it has developed a cult following in subsequent years. Kelly has expressed interest in expanding the film into a franchise.

Additionally, tracks from Radiohead, Louis Armstrong, Beethoven, Kris Kristofferson, and several tracks from Moby‘s Hotel:Ambient are likewise absent from the album. The reason for the exclusion of some of these tracks, like the song by The Killers was as a result of a dispute with the record label.
