The Marching Band

Opens August 28

A world-famous orchestra conductor discovers the brother he never knew he had — a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a local marching band. Detecting his brother’s exceptional musical talent, he takes it upon himself to rectify the injustice of fate. An equally hilarious and affecting crowdpleaser that premiered at Cannes and became a French box office sensation. Starring Benjamin Lavernhe (My Donkey, My Lover & I) and Pierre Lottin (The Stranger).

"Warm and sure-footed, the film has the feel of a richly satisfying meal in an excellent neighbourhood bistro."
Danny Leigh, Financial Times
"[Features] lived-in performances from an engaging cast of French character actors, and a closing sequence so shamelessly and cheerfully manipulative that any resistance is entirely useless. Bring a family pack of tissues."
Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
