Prolific composer Alexandre Desplat is not interested in imitating himself. If I keep doing the same type of movie, I will repeat myself, and I’d be old — and old very soon, he says, explaining his predilection for continuing to take on the small European films that were his first bread and butter as well as American indies and, just for novelty, the occasional Hollywood blockbuster. I don’t want to ride the same horse all the time. The six-time Oscar nominee has five horses in the Oscar race (repeating a stunt he last pulled off in 2009).
