[05] – TSIKY WATCHED IT

Watch something you’ll enjoy to talk about later; long format or short, documentaries, independent or blockbuster.

Le Concert
After "Train de vie" et "Va, vis, deviens", Radu Mihaileanu comes back with a powerful, hilarious and poignant tragic comedy. With humor and originality, he explores the clash between cultures and the relation of the individual to the community through the fantastic story of Muscovite musicians who stopped playing in public after having been persecuted by the Soviet Regime. 30 years later, they pretend to be the Bolchoï Orchestra in order to perform in the renowned Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. Here’s a golden narrative, actors in flesh and heart, a scenario riddled with cult scenes and an extraordinary finale marching with the melody of Tchaïkovski's concerto.
