La Melodie
Rachid Hami
In Rachid Hami’s La Melodie with Kad Merad, Samir Guesmi, Alfred Renely, Youssouf
Gueye, Shirel Nataf, Claudine Vinasithamby, Zakaria Lazab.
Simon, played by Kad Merad is a distinguished, but
disillusioned violinist. Arnold (Alfred Renely) is a shy student who is fascinated with the violin and discovers that
he has a real talent for it. With Arnold’s raw talent and the joyous energy of
his class, Simon gradually rediscovers the joys of music. Together, they will
overcome many obstacles and succeed to enroll the class in an end-of-the-year
concert at the prestigious Paris
Philharmonic.
“ It is not
just about cinema and social phenomenon. La Melodie reflects the desire to put into
words and pictures the faith in life and art against the determinisms (poverty,
violence, abandonment, cynicism, etc.) everybody tries to escape, and the urge
to depict as accurately as possible life’s disillusions in order to better
understand what drives hope.”
