Thelma – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP – Ola Fløttum

THELMA is a 2017 Norwegian supernatural coming-of-age story directed by Joachim Trier. This critical hit has been tapped for a big budget Hollywood remake from the team behindI, Tonya. The film centres around Thelma a shy introvert that leaves her family behind to go and study in the city of Oslo. She befriends fellow student Anja, and the two develop an immediate and intense attraction. To say more would ruin the film, as its dark tale of love, loss, and supernatural abilities unfolds unexpectedly.

The score by Ola Fløttum is full of starkly beautiful dark strings and mood pieces, washed over with the occasional synth drone or texture. It’s hauntingly beautiful, captivating, and absolutely ranks as one of our favorite scores from the last few years. If you were a fan ofLet The Right One Inyou should immediately seek outThelma,as we are sure you’ll fall in love with it as much as we did.
