- Synopsis
W.E. tells the story of two fragile but determined women -- Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson -- separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson. But Wally's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, W.E. intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D'Arcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.
Madonna about the film
W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made. I've wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me.
-- Madonna
Music between Mirrors
The prevailing sense of obsession was what inspired me in W.E.. The irrational compulsion to sacrifice everything and anything for love -- a love that could easily be just an illusion, a reflection of a nonexistent, fictitious object or a repetitive answer to the Rorschach test, taking the form of a pair of ten-thousand-dollar gloves...
Madonna intensifies this impression with the use of long tracking shots down hallways and mirrors. We can see reflections of the characters displayed on different objects, from unexpected angles, but we are not allowed to look at them directly.
The score for W.E. takes inspiration from this filmic approach. There are six recurring themes in the film, but none of them is fixed to a traditional function like a love motif or a character motif.
Instead, the same theme can carry despair and sorrow in one scene, and turn into hope and joy in another. This happens without any melodic alterations. Once established, a melody remains the same and repeats relentlessly, over and over again. It's like watching multiple reflections of a person in a room full of mirrors. The person doesn't really change, but the world revolving around it compels us to think otherwise.
The opening scene introduces the two most prominent themes of the movie.
The first one, called Six Hours, very melodic, is displayed here in full force. This is the one that's starts the film in despair and sorrow, kindles a new relationship in the middle of the story, and empowers us with hope and joy before the end credits.
The next one is only hinted at the end of the first cue.
It's just a simple harmonic structure of what will later become the strongest theme of all -- Abdication. It appears six times in the film and serves to bridge two love stories in two different time periods.
The score was written over the course of four months, starting in January 2011. It was recorded with a 60-piece orchestra and solos (piano, violin and viola) at Abbey Road Studios in London, in April 2011.

Amazing music. It's incredible that this score was not nomine for the Oscar.
Absolutely gorgeous music! The more I listen to the music, the more I love it! (:
This is a masterpiece...It sooths...gently
OMG my ears cant take that much perfection! This is a masterpiece, such a beautiful melody, thats all my children will listen to
Hi, guys, the composer was nominated twice: for original score for "Single Man" and this film W.E for Golden Globe. But he lost, how is it possible, anyway? For consolation, he won Public Choice Award at this year World Soundtrack Awards. His music is so beautiful and touching...
can't stop listening - Amazing, masterpiece!!!
What a lot of people don't realise is that Madonna, yes she, directed this superb film and it is superb because of the acting and above all the music......all of which is truly breathtaking.
Simply art: I don´t have words to explain how I feel when I listen this BSO.
Truly AMAZING!!!! So touching and inspiring!!!!
I will have to see this movie... someday
I love this Song! i can Listen to it on and on and on... it´s jus wonderfull! :D
matko jedyna. ten utwor wyrywa serce z plucami! co za geniusz! nie mam slow, co za emocje! brak mi slow!
This track is goddamn incredible.
It takes you away, so beautiful, a break from a weary world full of broken dreams and sham. It reminds one of the pure clean spot deep down inside of all of us that the world made us forget with this score it helps you recall it's still there waiting to be rediscovered for those of us who forgot it was waiting to be recalled.
In a word.....perfection.
...amarezza e gioiosa esaltazione....sensazione di pericolo e attesa....inno alla vita.....unico compositore....grande....!!
What a fanatic music and photography!!!. That really touches the heart.
Coś pięknego! Wyczucie, wrażliwość, emocje. Arcydzieło w każdej minucie. Brawo!

Loved the description and the way it has been presented. Adds a whole different perspective and depth to an already beautiful score
Abel Korzeniowski, I have loved your creations since I fell in love with the score from, "A Single Man". Sublime.

I agree!!

Dziękuję,że PAN JEST.Muzyka jest Cudowna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is art!
wow,this is simply awesome...god i love this,makes me happy for this gift from God - Music .thank you
I notice that Abel's scores, although all very beautiful, sound very similar to each other. The same use of strings and tempo are repeated in different scores. Nothing wrong with doing this, because they all complement the films beautifully. I just wish there are more variations.
I actually like it because I know what I can expect when I choose his music. I can close my eyes and there are no surprises:)
That's his signature sound,if you will.
xueyan li that's his characteristics and recognisable style..
This is incredible!! I love it
magic music..... angelic, soul music, thank you
ACABO DE TERMINAR DE VER LA PELÍCULA,...EXTRAORDINARIA, Y QUE LA HAYA DIRIGIDO LA CANTANTE MADONNA ... UN ASOMBRO GRANDE !!
Very emotive, beautiful...
Reconozco el espíritu de esta música, me llega al alma. Extraordinaria. Quiero más. Gracias Korzeniowski.
An awesome Score for an equally awesome Movie!
Abel Korzeniowski
i had to come find the soundtrack . its a beautiful masterpiece
So Beautiful, tears of aweness💕
Viendo y escuchando esta Maravilla, en Enero del 2025. 🙌💫✨
sento questa musica sotto la pelle, la ascolto e la respiro e mi è entrata nell'anima.
I am too drunk to know what this is about but it is one of the most haunting pieces of music I have ever heard. Reminds me of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Wuthering Heights.
It reminds me to Mishima - Philip Glass ...
@@magdalenasokolowska1146 satin bird s reminds me shigeru umebayashi yumeji s theme from in the mood for love
musica bellissima, ti entra nel testa e nel cuore e non esce più!
This music is so touching. Very Good Work!
C'est juste magnifique, cette musique me fait regretter de ne pas avoir vu le film...
Beautiful..............thank you!
Preciosa composición de imágenes con la banda sonora de Korzeniowski.
This is simply marvelous.
To jest obłędne. Abel, maestro.
love the music...
Thanks, i went straight there.
And that part of this piece is the only reason i'm here too, the Renault Clio advert. To be honest, i'm not bothered about the rest. Some people on here won't appreciate me saying that, and that's okay, i see their point.
Espectacular, emocionante. Sin duda la mejor elección que hizo MADONNA, para ambientar su pelicula.
C'est excellent. Abel Korzeniowski apporte une couleur particulière à ses partitions.
Masterpiece.
J'adore la trame sonore. La musique est inspirante. J'ai adoré le film, il m'a captivé. Ne vous fiez pas aux critiques.... Le film est captivant!!!
We have a lot of talented people in Poland :)
Wonderful!!! Thanks!
9:30 is on the Renault clio advert. As much as I hate to be the guy who says "I came here because of-".. I'm so glad I found this.
J'aime magifique merci beaucoup pour ce partage.
Amicalement

“Hiába menekülsz, hiába futsz.
A sorsod elől, futni úgyse tudsz.
Mert sorsunk nekünk, vagy végzetünk,
Hogy, egymásért szenvedünk.”
