Plot
A former Bolshoi conductor assembles a fake orchestra to play in Paris. Known in French as Le Concert.
Sinekatalog’s take
Radu Mihăileanu's comedy about a janitor-turned-conductor staging a fake orchestra in Paris is warm and crowd-pleasing. Its final Tchaikovsky concert is emotional and deliciously over the top.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
