Event Description
The Concert, 2009
Director: Radu Mihăileanu
Drama/comedy
Length: 1h59 mins
A celebrated conductor of the Bolshoi Orchestra in Moscow loses his post during the Soviet regime when he refuses to fire his Jewish musicians. 25 years later, the man is working as a custodian in the same theatre and helps his wife organise mock demonstrations of communist nostalgia. One day, he receives an invitation for the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and decides it is time to bluff his way back into the limelight. He agrees to do the concert meant for the official orchestra and rounds up his old orchestra buddies, as well as a few hilarious newcomers.
