Info for A Man Called Otto (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Für die passende Musik zur Tragikomödie hat sich Regisseur Marc Forster den renommierten Filmkomponisten Thomas Newman ("James Bond 007 - Skyfall", "1917") geangelt. Neben Newman waren für den Song "Til You're Home" auch Rita Wilson (Ehefrau von Tom Hanks und Co-Produzentin des Films) sowie Grammy Award Gewinner Sebastián Yatra am Werk. Der Titelsong wurde von den beiden am Sonntag bei der diesjährigen Grammy Award Show 2023 zum ersten Mal vor einem Livepublikum performt.

"A Man Called Otto" basiert auf dem Buch «A Man Called Ove» von der Bestsellerliste der New York Times und erzählt die Geschichte von Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), einem Griesgram, der nach dem Tod seiner Frau keinen Sinn mehr sieht in seinem Leben. Otto will diesem bereits ein Ende setzen, als eine quirlige junge Familie nebenan einzieht und er in der schlagfertigen Marisol ein ebenbürtiges Gegenüber findet. Die neue Nachbarin zeigt ihm eine neue Lebensanschauung auf, woraus sich eine unerwartete Freundschaft entwickelt, die Ottos Welt auf den Kopf stellt. "A Man Called Otto" ist eine herzerwärmende und witzige Geschichte über Liebe, Verlust und das Leben, die beweist, dass Menschen auch an den ungewöhnlichsten Orten zusammenfinden können.
