Mychael Danna composed the score which, according to Sony Music, reflects “the international character as well as the religious and philosophical aspects of Life of Pi.” The score, which includes the use of an Indian flute, an Indonesian gamelan, celeste, and accordion, was recorded by a Los Angeles studio orchestra.
Danna also co-wrote the film’s original song “Pi’s Lullaby” with “Indian vocalist Bombay Jayashri, who performs the song in her native Tamil language.”
The Plot:
Life of Pi takes us through a young man’s incredible adventure – at turns thrilling and spiritual; joyous and harrowing; humorous and tragic. Audiences will follow Pi Patel as he travels from an exotic zoo in India on a voyage across the Pacific, where he survives a shipwreck and is cast adrift in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger as his only company. Adrift in an endless expanse of ocean, Pi struggles to survive and train his companion, landing on a magical island that offers the two their only respite on their desperate journey.
