We're looking forward to Le Concert on Sunday: after a tough watch last week, there's a complete change of mood for you with this shamelessly entertainment-orientated Franco-Russian tale of a janitor at the Bolshoi dreaming of putting on a concert. But he's no ordinary janitor of course. It's one of those films that has pleased audiences more than critics, so our scores will be very interesting. Here are a couple of quotes that sum it up:
'While essentially a larky comedy caper, the film's undertones of lost opportunity and growing old strike exactly the right emotional notes. It makes for a tear-jerking finale of the very first order.' David Edwards, Daily Mirror.
'More sentimental, less spiky than Mihaileanu's stock-in-trade, Le Concert is an enjoyable take on the underdogs genre. And Laurent and the music are sublime.' Empire. (That's Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major, by the way).
