Why This Soundtrack Matters Wristcutters: A Love Story (directed by Goran Dukić) is a dark romantic comedy set in a purgatory-like world for people who have committed suicide. The film’s soundtrack is not just background music—it is a narrative character in itself. It blends haunting Eastern European folk, punk rock energy, and melancholic indie rock to mirror the film’s tone: bleak but beautiful, dead but full of life.
