raw energy…urgent…gritty…Demetrius said:(…) Pairing the film with the music from Pearl Jam’s seminal albums Vs. and select songs from Vitalogy highlights a raw energy and urgent, emotional soundscape that mirror the countess’s defiance and vulnerability, bringing a gritty new layer to this 100-year-old film. (…)
That’s perplexing because the movie is different.
A lot of the (instrumental)music bits are aggressive, not slow enough, loud - useless, except the result of the pairing can be complete different, a kind of beast.
Drums and singing are the most destructive stuff to me. But there is useful music on both records to keep it rather calm.

Any singing “in” the movie?

I'm very curious how Pearl Jam's Vs. and Vitology, which have a more aggressive sound even compared to the rest of Pearl Jam's discography. How do they fit with A Woman of the World?
JF: I'm actually incredibly proud of this one, and I hope theaters pick it up. REM and Radiohead and The Pixies were my go-to bands in the ‘90s; I really wasn't a big Pearl Jam fan, but I do remember the one album I really liked was Versus.
When I discovered this movie, which is really a forgotten gem of a silent movie…I was watching it and the first band that came to mind was Pearl Jam because there's a small town feeling to their alternative rock. There's a warmth and romance to their stories.
So when I put Vs. over it, it did not work seamlessly. There were things I would need to figure out, workarounds. There was like 20 seconds here, 30 seconds there where it just didn't make sense to start the next song. And that's a long time to cut something. So in this case I used some of the original music from the original track in those little spaces. It kind of comes up and it works because when it happens, it's specific to that moment that makes sense in the narrative that it wouldn't have the Pearl Jam music. But all the songs, in the places they are, were right.
They were the right songs, and a couple of them were so dead on perfect, like “Animal.” That was the song that I first thought of when I watched it, because it's a song about a woman who's been scorned by someone. And she's saying, I'd rather be with an animal than you, you know? And that is sort of the main throughline of the narrative of this woman's story, not to mention she has a tattoo and it's the 1920s. She's literally the first punk rock girl to exist in movies. Imagine Footloose in the 1920s with Pearl Jam music.

Thanks. More making-of-details are mentioned within the whole interview - it seems clear now: Intention isn’t to avoid most of the singing or to use only instrumental
parts.

“Nine Inch Nails…white whale…
But I'd love to find a way to do something someday with the Beastie Boys. Particularly with their two instrumental albums that are awesome that I think would be really cool to do something with.”

Support Your Local Cinema Please Like👍or Share ➡️
Originally released in 1925 and forgotten to the archives of silent film, A Woman of the World (celebrating its 100th anniversary this year) follows a liberal European countess, played by Pola Negri. A progressive 1920s punk rock heiress escapes heartbreak on the Riviera and arrives in a conservative Midwestern town to visit her long lost cousins. Complete with a fresh tattoo on her arm, the crest of her former lover, she causes quite the uproar amongst the god fearing farming community. She falls for the town’s mayor and head of vise police and madness, romance, and comedy ensues. Think Footloose 1920s - with a tattoo, a whip and a wild streak. It’s a blast - and the Pearl Jam sync is powerful, fun, and rocking. A punk rockers story before punk even existed!
