Belfast provides viewers with some tear-jerking and very intimate moments, and the heavy themes are only heightened by the movie’s stellar soundtrack and score.
Based loosely on the real-life experience of director Branagh, Belfast revolves around the life of a boy named Buddy (Jude Hill) in the Northern Irish capital, whose life is turned upside down at the outset of the Troubles in 1969.
Several tracks from Belfast-born musician Van Morrison lead the piece, along with other artists from the era. There are a number of bangers you’re bound to recognise. Cast member Jamie Dornan also shows off his singing skills for the film.
Read on for a list of songs which feature in the Belfast soundtrack.
