MAESTRO(S) English

The Dumars are conductors from father to son: François (Pierre Arditi)’s long and brilliant international career come to an end, whereas Denis (Yvan Attal) has just won an umpteenth classical music award. When François is chosen to be the head of the Scala, his ultimate dream, he can’t believe it. Happy at first for his father, Denis quickly becomes disillusioned when he discovers that he was, in fact, chosen to go to Milan.

  • The director Bruno Chiche (Hell (2005), Je n’ai rien oublié (2010), Le bonheur des Dupré (2011), L’un dans l’autre (2016)) simply offers with Maestro(s) his best film to date and far from being a simple popular comedy directs it towards a mix between auteur cinema and a more intimate work based on two excellent actors Yvan Attal, and Pierre Arditi and many well-written supporting roles Miou-Miou, Pascale Arbillot and Caroline Anglade.

  • Maestro(s) is the general candor of this polished, elegant production. Ultimately, it’s a kind of crème caramel of “cinematic vertebration.”
    Translated from Christophe Huss article – Le Devoir 

Mature theme – alcohol consumption 

This film by Bruno Chiche, adapted from Footnote by Joseph Cedar (2011), depicts the jealousy, the feeling of competition and the desire for professional recognition that pull two talented men from the same family. A study of vanity and incommunicability, this story is delivered in a style that suits the greatest number.
