An audience favourite wherever it has screened, the feel-great new French comedy MY BROTHER’S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate, are reunited by music.
Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, ‘Delicious’, ‘C’est la vie!’) is an internationally-renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s exceptional talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts.
“This is not a movie that reinvents the wheel, but it’s solid entertainment that provides much to think about and some delightful music.” ~Sarah Manvel, Next Best Picture
“Courcol packs a lot of story into his 104 minutes, but My Brothers Band always feels like it is unfolding at exactly the right pace.” ~Graeme Tuckett, The Post
