Listening Post

Take artfully selected scenes from a deliberately provocative 2004 French film about a group of young girls being raised at an isolated boarding school, set it to a lovely and haunting piece of piano, cello and violin music written for another film that inspires either rabid devotion or glib dismissal -- Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain -- and what do you get?

Well, the result is something mesmerizing -- and strangely moving.

Here's Clint Mansell's The Last Man, lent to images from Innocence.
