Le Concert - Radu Mihaileanu (2009)

I enjoy both French and Russian films. So how can I be objective about this one?! It's a great mix of things I like. In any other film I would have not forgiven the fact that's full of stereotypes. 

Le Concert is a nice feel-good film, bits of comedy, bits of drama... it's fun. It's not a major drama like Les Choristes, but it's not a cheesy comedy like Amélie... it's somewhere in the middle and I think it works well.

The photography is nicely done, that always helps. The sound is also well done, not great when it comes to design but it does sound 5.1 and it's full of music. (In this case it works, as it is part of the story). Nothing bold but as I said, I am more tolerant with this film than I would be with any other. The Russian cast is very charming and they are all good in their roles (some a bit too stereotyped, but still effective).
