Sacha Galperine

Composer · Born May 2, 1980 (46) · Tcheliabinsk, Ural, Russia

Cannes award winner

Evgueni Galperine (born 1974) and Sacha Galperine (born 1980) are Russian-born French film score composers and brothers. They were born in Russia and studied music in Moscow, but moved to Paris, France, in 1990. In 2012, they were nominated for the Goya Award for Best Original Score for Eva. The Galperine brothers wrote the music for the 2017 film Loveless after hearing a synopsis of the story, but not seeing the film or reading the screenplay. Evgueni Galperine said the piece "11 Cycles of E" was written as an interpretation of a parent's thoughts, with the parent only being able to think about how a missing child must be found. Critic David Ehrlich named Evgueni and Sacha Galperine's score as the ninth best cinematic soundtrack of 2017, particularly praising "11 Cycles of E" as "striking". For Loveless, the brothers jointly won the European Film Award for Best Composer. Source: Article "Evgueni and Sacha Galperine" from Wikipedia in english, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
