The Concert - Trailer - IN CINEMAS APRIL 29TH.mp4

A film by Radu Mihaileanu (Live and Become, Train of Life.) Starring Alexei Guskov, Melanie Laurent, Dmitry Nazarov and Miou Miou

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: hell 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!
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 Tchaikovskys Concerto is simply magnificent.

I saw this film last week and it was the best movie I have seen for years. The humour was so clever especially if you understand the francais et les russe. I was able to watch the movie with both nationalities and we laughed all the way to the end. I have got to get a dvd copy
