Keep this sheet close on Sunday! Fill in the missing movies and songs so you will never forget what were the Best Soundtracks on Sunday 2012!
Todays hottest Belgian movie is with no doubt 'The Broken Circle Breakdown'. This movie, directed by Felix Van Groeningen, opened and closed the Film Festival of Ghent. With their performance on the World Soundtrack Awards the importance of the movie music of the film got to the fore. The genre of the soundtrack isn't the stereotype of country and bluegrass music. Bjorn Ericksson rewrote existing classics in the country- & bluegrass-repertoire creatively for, for instance, the voices of Veerle Baetens and Johan Heldenbergh.

Who watched the movie can tell that the soundtrack is not just supporting the story but is standing in constant relation to all the aspects of this film. Not only because the main characters are no doubt the key figures of a bluegrass band that perform in diverse scenes. Also the lyrics connect with different layers in the soundtrack and the story. We can state that the music is one of the important elements that take this film to a higher level and make it even more touching.
