Il pane nudo

Le pain nu, a dramatic movie of 2005, is an adaptation of the autobiographical novel of famous Moroccan writer Mohamed Choukri. The film, which was directed by Algeria's Rachid Benhadj, tells the story of Mohamed, an illiterate young boy who lives in extreme poverty and is harassed by a violent and oppressive father. At age 20, his discovery of literature triggers a desire to change in him; his willpower and determination will lead him to become a primary school teacher and then a writer. Composer of this soundtrack is Safy Boutella, an Algerian jazz musician, masterfully and elegantly underlines the breathtaking images of the remarkable motion picture. Il pane nudo is one of the 30 titles from the Sugar’s collection dedicated to the soundtracks that have made the history of film music. The collection will be released in a completely remastered version and with a new look edition. All the title of the series have been enriched with a text by Marco Muller, movie producer, critic and director of the most important film festival. He affirms: Cinema is the place where music becomes something different, carving for itself a specific role within a whole where it is as important as visual composition, editing , time and movement. Without music cinema would lose one essential element of its nature. Whenever important musicians have worked with important film-directors their strong individual personalities have always struck a balance where great music made a great film stronger and vice versa. These adventurous stories of Italian (and not only Italian) cinema are the subject of this well-thought re-proposition of the CAM catalogue. A selection of its greatest titles offering the opportunity to divert from a concert program of modernist music, or an alternative to light pop, to venture into a new continent just waiting to be (re-)discovered.
