Tuesday Morning Foreign Region DVD Report: . Its soundtrack, composed and performed by the legendary Art Ensemble of Chicago. Like many free- music pioneers, the Art Ensemble decamped to Paris in the late '6. BYG, cofounded by a group of French jazzbos that included future Celluioid Records founder Jean Karakos) throwing studio time at any number of adventurous artists. The Ensemble's work for this soundtrack finds them folding classical themes and contemporary soul stylings into its already effortlessly eclectic and daring musical bag. It's also pretty killer when listened to entirely on its own. Mizrahi had met the Art Ensemble some time prior to adapting Christiane Rochefort's femininst novel to the screen, and contracted them to both create the soundtrack and appear in the picture. That's a copy of John Coltrane's extremely challenging Ascension right behind Lafont's jeans, above. The picture's title is from a bit of vulgar French rhyming slang. Rather, Lafont plays Celine, a free spirit whose affair with the rather more stuffy Phillipe (Michel Duchaussoy) looks pretty damn unpromising from the start. In case we don't get the point, Mizrahi's camera pans up to show the warning plaques on the tower: . Mizrahi would later go on to more overtly sentimental fare such as Madame Rosa and I Wrote A Letter To My Love, and in a lot of ways Sophie feels like a conventional midcult exploration of themes that would be plumbed with far more brutal honesty a few years later in Eustache's La Maman and La Putain, also starring Lafont. Sophie is obviously a far more representative piece of 1. French cinema than Rivette's Out One (also featuring Lafont and Ogier) of that year is, and as such it's a potent reminder of something we shouldn't need to be reminded of. The Art ensemble's music and presence are the most groundbreaking things about the picture, so it should come as little surprise that the Region 2 disc of Sophie is issued not a by cinephile DVD label but by Soul Jazz, the wonderful British music label that's reissuing a CD of the soundtrack alongside this DVD, which contains an informative booklet and a nearly half- hour video interview with Ensemble member Joseph Jarman.
