. ''Mr. Nobody'' is the last film of composer Pierre Van Dormael before his death in 2008.
Background
Like Jaco Van Dormael's previous films, the score for ''Mr. Nobody'' was written by Pierre Van Dormael. The director did not want the music to be overtly emotional, so he and Pierre chose a minimalist orchestration, more often than not just a single guitar. The score was finished after Pierre was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
At the
2010 Magritte Awards, the film received six awards and Pierre Van Dormael won Best Original Score posthumously.
