Under Paris by Xavier Gens
2024
Alexandre Poncet was the artistic director of the original soundtrack from Under Paris. He worked closely with director Xavier Gens, editor Riwanon Le Beller and the My Melody agency, represented by Rébecca Delannet. After structuring the composition and defining the style and form of the main themes, he supervised the writing, which was entrusted to Alex Cortés, Anthony d’Amario and Édouard Rigaudière. A mix of action, emotion, tension and fear, the 80-minute score was recorded between Paris and Skopje in Macedonia. Starring Bérénice Béjo and Nassim Lyès, Under Paris established itself as a global phenomenon upon its release on Netflix, eliciting praise from Stephen King and attracting nearly 100 million viewers during the summer of 2024.
