Watched another very good movie, Le Concert, tonight in the Graceville cinema, just a ten minute walk from Mel’s house. Great direction by Radu Mihaileanu and wonderful music. It is the comic and often sad story of a Russian conductor fired for hiring Jewish musicians. Now a cleaner at the Bolshoi, he learns accidently of an invitation to the Bolshoi orchestra to play in Paris, gets together his former musicians to impersonate the real Bolshoi orchestra. He wants a young woman virtuoso to play with them -there’s a back story linking her to him and after lots of obstacles the concert is a great success. If it shows near you do go … My movie watch rate has risen considerably since I started travelling. I’ve resolved to find somewhere that shows foreign films when I get home … there are so many good ones around.
I’ve just caught up with the news that planes are flying to and from Europe once again … so glad for all those stranded people.
