The Marching Band (15)

2024 France

Dir. Emmanuel Courcol

Thibaut is an internationally renowned conductor who travels the world. When he learns he was adopted, he discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy, who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a small marching band. Everything seems to set them apart, except their love of music. Sensing his brother’s exceptional talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate. Jimmy begins to dream of a different life. An authentic, funny and very moving drama that is a very entertaining and involving watch – scoring highest in recent previews for cinema programmers from all over the UK. It’s a story of identity vs destiny, nature vs nurture, full of thinking about the interplay of talent and opportunity that go into the making (or unmaking) of a creative life. Not to be missed!
