Should we go to see ‘musicians’ at the cinema? Cathy Immelen gives his opinion

Take out the popcorns: our columnist Ciné Cathy Hourven was in 8/9 to present the last cinema outings to us! HAS the poster this week: Musicians, Mariana’s Room et Angels and company. Three very different proposals, to be discovered in theaters this Wednesday.

After flattered our nose in PerfumesGrégory Magne this time invites us to lift his ear in Musicians. The pitch? A rich heiress decides to bring together four Stradivarius, these mythical violins of the 18th century, to make them play a unprecedented score together. Only downside: the musicians she has selected struggle to get in tune, so that the string quartet quickly turns to cacophony.

Between tensions, aborted rehearsals and attempts at artistic reconciliation, the director thus makes an interesting proposal for Huis Clos Musical.

In addition, the attention paid to sound, silences and breathing gives place to very beautiful moments of cinema, mWell, like his characters, the film remains disadvated. The story is marked, the conflicts expected, and we go out with the impression of having attended a beautiful sketch, a little wise, a little contained. Like a very professional concert, but without this thrill of emotion that we expected.
