Mysterious Skin (Music from the Film)

　　Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie and legendary composer Harold Budd team to create a soundtrack of lush and atmospheric soundscapes to award-winning writer-director Gregg Araki's critically-acclaimed new drama MYSTERIOUS SKIN. Guthrie and Budd's sparse, tonal music reflects the contemplative journey of troubled boyhood friends Neil (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Brian (Brady Corbet), whose lives as young adults weave them down a slippery and dangerous path of self-discovery in MYSTERIOUS SKIN. The film, based on the Scott Heim novel, has been hailed by critics as writer-director Gregg Araki's finest film to date, and has been selected for the Sundance, Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. Araki's career spans nearly 20 years, during which he has written, directed, and produced many controversial and edgy films, exploring and dissecting the strange currencies of sexual relationships. His credits include SPLENDOR, THE DOOM GENERATION and NOWHERE.
