    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Melanie Laurent started learning to play the violin only a few months before production. For the concert scenes, she learned all the bow movements, so her bow would always be on the correct string and move convincingly. However, her left hand (and sometimes arm) were digitally added/replaced in post-production.
    • Goofs
      When Filipov, Gavrilov, and Grossman are meeting with the man will provide them and the orchestra passports to Paris, he says that when it is evening in Moscow it is morning in Paris. This is impossible because there is only a two hour time difference between the two cities.
    • Crazy credits
      The director's father, Ion Mihaileanu, is credited as "diligent and attentive spectator and supporter of the film"
    • Connections
      Features La Candidate (2002)
    • Soundtracks
      Violin Concerto in D Major op. 35

    Bravo bravo bravoooo!
    This is a gem of a movie. Do not miss it! Amazing rarely seen Russian actors, hilarious comedy, emotions by the bucket, tears, sublime music, tension, suspense, it's been a while since I saw anything like it. I was weary that the director, prize winner of art-house fame, would make a slow pompous contemplative film. At the contrary Le Concert is a fast moving beautifully shot comedy about music, artists, Russia, Paris and communism. The director makes the actors brilliant, even average French actors like Miou Miou or the young soloist whose name I forgot. Do not wait for the DVD: it's worth watching on a big screen with a loud digital surround to enjoy the violins and the magnificent soundtrack. Bring your tissues you will laugh and cry, a great night out guaranteed!!!
