The film score by Rachel Portman rightly received an Oscar Nomninierung. This score (as opposed to other soundtracks, the music directly connected to the dramaturgy of the film) is effective with melody lines the actor Johnny Depp, Juliett Binoche and Judy Dench always off in. In 18 musical gems in almost 42 minutes of playing time, both the chamber music approach music as well as gypsy soul and flamenco come (Django Reinhard's "Minor Swing") and jazz (Duke Ellington's "Caravan") are used. As a treat for fans of Johnny Depp: in the two mentioned cover versions of the actor engages himself to guitar and interprets the standard quite emotional.
