Concert is certainly one of the best films I've seen in recent months, even in recent years. What makes it so touching and deeply human, this is probably its simplicity, sobriety, her modesty, or his lack of pretension. It is also characteristic of most characters, by turns funny and tragic, that you live, you mark long after viewing. Being very sensitive
for my part in the Russian soul and history, most awkward situations - as a manifestation of the Communist Party where there is more than paid extras ... hilarious! .. - Are proving a mixed blessing. If you smile in a situation burlesque, you can be sure that it will inevitably be tinged with sorrow and regret. The greatest strength of Concert is precisely this perpetual opposition of humor and tragedy, an element unique to the Slavic soul ...
The actors are absolutely beautiful, dignified, and touching, especially Dmitri Nazarov, in the role of a talented cellist converted into an ambulance ...
Now to Alexei Guskov, who shines melancholy and sublime in the role of conductor overwhelmed by sadness, deeply hurt, devastated, frustrated by his inability to perform an ultimate goal. The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, a character full of history, the final fulfillment of all fates, rocking the entire movie of its elegance and its restraint.
Melanie Laurent, embodying the soloist halo of glory, beneath a disdainful and arrogant, rises also be seeking an absolute: that of the simple look of a family she had not known.
A subtle performance, full of exquisite variations, which adds to the film a rare delicacy.
