Life and career[edit]

Bource began his career composing music for commercials, but later moved on to short films, such as Mes amis (1999), En attendant (2000), Spartacus (2003), and Sirene Song (2005). After working on the Michel Hazanavicius short film Mes amis, Bource has become a long-time collaborator with the director. He has since scored such Hazanavicius films as OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006), its sequel OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009), and most recently the black-and-white silent film The Artist (2011), which elevated Bource to international fame and earned him numerous accolades, including a César Award, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar.[4]
