We have 10 x double passes to give away to see THE CONCERT – A film by Radu Mihaileanu. Starring Alexei Guskov, Melanie Laurent, Dmitry Nazarov and Miou Miou
Opening at #1 at the French cinema box-office, The Concert is pure entertainment – a warm-hearted, joyous story filled with great wit and humanity. The stirring finale set against Tchaikovsky’s Concerto is simply magnificent.
During the Brezhnev era, Andrei Filipov was a prodigy – the greatest conductor in the Soviet Union and he directed the famous Bolshoi Orchestra. But after refusing to expel his Jewish musicians, including his best friend Sacha, he was fired at the height of his glory. Thirty years later, he is still working at the Bolshoi, but… as a cleaner.
When Andrei intercepts a fax from the Theatre du Chatelet inviting the Bolshoi Orchestra to Paris, he comes up with a crazy idea: he’ll gather up his old musician friends (now working rag-tag jobs), head to Paris and pretend to be the famed orchestra to play Tchaikovsky’s “Violin Concerto.” The long-awaited dream to deliver one final performance!
“An intelligent, perfectly mixed blend of comedy and drama that is emotionally satisfying on every level: the music, top-notch performances from a stellar cast and a sharp, incisive script.” Arts and Opinion.
In Australian Cinemas from April 29.
