Mark Knopfler's fine soundtrack to the film
Metroland nicely evokes the picture's wistful, nostalgic atmosphere. Rounding out the collection are late-'70s classics from
Dire Straits ("Sultans of Swing"),
Elvis Costello ("Alison") and
the Stranglers ("Peaches"), in addition to left-field inclusions like
Françoise Hardy's "Tous Les Garcons et Les Filles" and
Django Reinhardt's "Blues Clair." ~ Chuck Donkers, All Music Guide
