For this philosophical tale of anticipation, where men are used as domestic toys by blue giants, the Draags, the celebrated composer Alain Goraguer unleashes his inspiration with a haunting main theme of great melodic clarity, soaring and hypnotic atmospheres, but also pursues funky rhythms with wah-wah on guitar, as if reaching out to Isaac Hayes from Shaft.

Over the decades, the acclaim of&nbsp;La Planète Sauvage&nbsp;has been growing in crescendo, both the film and its score, revered by new generations as a psychedelic summit, an Everest of French pop.
