'La possibilitée d'une Île' is a film by Michel Houellebecq. Premiere was 9.8.2008 at the Locarno Film Festival.
Starring: Benoît Magimel, Patrick Bauchau, Jordi Dauder, et al.

Director and Screenplay: Michel Houellebecq
Production: Eric Altmeyer, Mandarin Cinema
Cinematography: Eric Guichard, Jeanne Lapoirie
Editing: Camille Cotte
Sounddesign: Raphael Sohier
Music: Mathis Nitschke

On the basis of his novel “The possibility of an island” this film was conceived by the writer Michel Houellebecq himself. In a process spanning several years, mostly before actual shooting, Mathis Nitschke composed this film music for orchestra, chorus, Solists and pop band.

From a review:
„Mathis Nitschke makes an impressive composing debut with this French post-apocalyptic cloning fable. If Jerry Goldsmith went for primal sounds in PLANET OF THE APES as characters wandered across a desert Forbidden Zone, then Nitschke goes for stunning orchestrations, ranging from big symphonic reveals to a solo viola, piano or harp representing one clone’s existential sadness. It’s the kind of intriguingly unique music that Europeans seem to hear more than us – a scoring debut that opens the mouth with the wonder of who the heck this guy is. Hopefully we’ll be finding out a lot more in Nitschke’s musical future, one that signifies anything but an end of days.“
