Critique Dramatic comedy by Emmanuel Courcol, with Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Lottin (France, 1h43). In theaters November 27 ★★★☆☆
An internationally recognized conductor, Thibaut quickly discovered that he had leukemia, that he had been adopted and that the only person compatible for a transplant was a brother he did not know. The screenwriters do not hesitate to bury our unfortunate hero under a large shovelful of mice, but Emmanuel Courcol never gives up sprinkling the drama with a beautiful lightness. He generously assumes the feel good movie in this story which brings back the weight of determinism, the end of the proletariat, mass relocations and dreams at half mast. The abolition of social boundaries also involves those of music, the soundtrack cheerfully mixing classical, jazz, popular harmonies from the North and variety. Profusion beautifully orchestrated by a staging that is always fluid, without show-stopping effects, which highlights Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin, an irresistible duo of actors.
