Kings is a 2018 crime drama film directed by Deniz Gamze Ergüven (Mustang). Set in 1992, it follows Millie (Halle Berry), a woman living in South Central Los Angeles when the infamous Rodney King riots grip the city. Scoring duties for Kings fell to renowned Australian musicians Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. In recent years, they have become a powerful duo in the world of film scoring thanks to their impressive work on films such as Hell Or High Water, Wind River and the National Geographic series Mars. Cave and Ellis, the later a repeat Ergüven collaborator, pull from their rich history in the music world to deliver an unexpected score that immediately transports the listener to a specific place in time – the hot, angry streets of Los Angeles in the summer of 1992.
