The scene in The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou where Sigur Rós's "Starálfur" bubbles up on the soundtrack is one of my favorite goosebump moments of the past decade of film, proof positive that the exact right match of song and visual can elevate even a mess of a movie like that one.So credit Irish writer/director Neil Jordan, the guy who made The Crying Game and Interview With the Vampire, with some truly savvy instincts. As Sigur Rós announced on their website last week, Jordan has enlisted the band's keyboardist, Kjartan Sveinsson, to write the score for his forthcoming film Ondine. A few songs from Sigur Rós will also appear on the soundtrack.In The Life Aquatic, Sigur Rós's particular brand of airy mystery worked beautifully in fantastical deep-sea scenes. From the looks of things, Jordan may have similar uses in mind for the band. IMDB describes Ondine's plot thusly: "The story of an Irish fisherman who discovers a woman in his fishing net who he believes to be a mermaid." So magical-realist Splash, basically. Nice! Also, Colin Farrell plays a character named Syraceuse, and that guy killed it in In Bruges, so this movie could be really good.
