The Social Network (2010)

The score soundtrack to "The Social Network" is reminiscent to the 2008 NIN double-instrumental album "Ghosts I-IV". While a few pieces of that album are heard in some of the score pieces, the record is a chilling, dark, ambient-inspired record that dwells into Mark Zuckerberg's troubled state of mind. While almost every track on the album is written by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, only one is a cover piece in the form of Edvard Grieg's "In The Hall Of The Mountain King". The result is definitely one of the most eerie and discomforting film scores ever created for a mainstream film.

The soundtrack features instrumental tracks composed by international popstar and actor Justin Timberlake with producer/instrumentalist Mitchell Owens.

Have digital technologies transformed cinema into a new art, or do they simply replicate and mimic analogue, film-based cinema? Newly revised and expanded to take the latest developments into account, Cinema in the Digital Age examines the fate of cinema in the wake of the digital revolution. Nicholas Rombes considers Festen (1998), The Blair Witch Project (1999), Timecode (2000), Russian Ark (2002), and The Ring (2002), among others. Haunted by their analogue pasts, these films are interested not in digital purity but rather in imperfection and mistakes―blurry or pixilated images, shaky camera work, and other elements that remind viewers of the human behind the camera.
