The Concert (7.5/10)

This lovely film deals with two themes. The first is that music can truly bring people together. The second is that as long as you keep laughing, life is good. There's some merit to both, it relies a bit to much on the audience to figure it out, but not everything can be perfect. This is a darling movie with heart and comedy. It has some spectacular music as well. The plot has alot to it but the film seems to drag at times and takes a while for you to get into.

Andrey use to be a famous Russian composer. The communists shut him down for hiring Jewish musicians. Years later he's now working as a janitor in the very place he once composed. He steals a letter meant for another composer and plans to get his old orchestra back together and pretend to be the other band. This way he can finish his final composition. He needs some things for this to work including famous violinist Anne-Marie (Melanie Laurent, beautiful and talented as always). However there's some dark secrets into Andrey's past that won't go away easily. This is quite a nice film that will make you fell something, but it isn't one to be remembered for years to come.

7.5/10
Recommendation: Lot's great classical music and a deep movie for those interested.
