Camera Obscura

Camera Obscura hit the cinemas

"Suspended from class", a song by Scottish band CAMERA OBSCURA, has been included in the original soundtrack of "Imagine me & you", a refreshingly unconventional and witty comedy presented by Ealing Studios and BBC Films. The movie, starred by actress Piper Perabo in a lively departure as a quintessentially modern British woman, is about love's myriad forms and constant surprises: on her wedding day, the bride discovers love at first sight ...and falls in love with the wedding's florist.

Perabo's male counterpart is played by Matthew Goode, well known for having played Gerald Brennan in cult movie "South", directed by Fernando Colomo, but much better known internationally for his part in "Match Point", the latest movie by Woody Allen, along with Scarlet Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.

CAMERA OBSCURA being a part of this movie is even more interesting for us if we note the background of the movie's Music Supervisor: Liz Gallacher won a Brit Award for her job in "The Full Monty", and was shortlisted for Film Music in 2003's NME Awards for her job in "24 Hour Party People", as well as having worked with such directors as Atom Egoyan, Michael Winterbottom or Istvan Szabo.
The movie's good taste in music (noticeable from its very title, which takes the first line from "Happy together", the beautiful song by THE TURTLES which was also used by Wong Kar-Wai), is confirmed with the recent news that its director and writer (Ol Parker, who has also written a forthcoming movie script for Jonathan Demme) has just written the script for "Crosstown Traffic", the forthcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic.
