I recently finished watching this bizarre French drama series, in which dead people start returning to a small French mountain town, after many years away...having died of course! Nothing is really explained, but the show is strangely compelling and kept me coming back for more. The main theme and score was by UK band Mogwai and it was also quite beguiling. It mainly consisted of 4 or 5 themes or motifs that were trotted out repeatedly, without much development. An organ cue for some sombre or revelatory moments, a strange percussive scratching sound for the creepiness and some nice piano and cello themes for various character developments. It will be back in 2014 with a 2nd series. I just wondered if anyone else had seen or heard it?

>>>>>>>>How did you hear of that show by the way?>>>>>>>>>> I saw the trailers on Channel 4 in the UK and it looked quite interesting, so I set my Virgin Box to record the series. I didn't know, at that point, it was a French series and subtitled, but when I settled down to watch it, I found it completely mesmerising and I pretty much watched the 12 episodes in the space of a week or so! I didn't know about the film from earlier years. Will watching the film ruin anything within the series? I will say that the Main Title theme is one of the catchiest and most memorable new TV themes I have heard for quite some time. I will probably grab a copy of the soundtrack from Amazon. I love young French actresses and their lack of inhibitions!!

Yes, TWIN PEAKS was called back to my mind as well, although without the eccentricity that Lynch likes to wallow in.

Will watching the film ruin anything within the series? They're not related to each other -- plot or mood -- so enjoy the viewing but keep in mind the movie is not a mystery movie. And SIMON WERNER A DISPARU -- LIGHTS OUT -- is great too: different cinematographer from the drama series, yet same kind of night filming approach: i forgot to mention in my first post, and i'm sure you'll agree, the outstanding photography of the night scenes in REBOUND.
