Not this one, however. I paid a premium to import a CD soundtrack to the movie Sparrow. Not a bad little movie about pickpockets (known as "sparrows" in Hong Kong, apparently) from Johnnie To, the soundtrack was so good I had to get it. A pleasant mix of French-styled jazz and Chinese music there are a couple tracks that reminded me of Toots Thielemans as well.
I'm not enough of a musical person to wax too rhapsodic about the details, but it's good stuff. You'll have to watch the movie to see how well it meshed with the visuals and added to the feel. But if you just listen to the music without seeing the movie, you could be forgiven for thinking it was a soundtrack to a French film from the 60's set in China. Have a listen.
