A Russian conductor is demoted to janitor under the Communists for his support of Jewish musicians. Years later, he intercepts an invitation from the Bolshoi Orchestra to play in Paris and uses the opportunity to reassemble his old orchestra and finish the concert that was interrupted by the Communist authorities all those years before.
A classic triumph of the underdog tale boasting sensational music and bags of feel good factor.
"It’s impossible not to be swept along by the film’s huge emotional punch that still makes room for a good three or four laugh-out-loud gags."

"Le Concert is an enjoyable take on the underdogs genre. And Laurent and the music are sublime."
