🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Astier constructs a hilarious clash between Bach's explosive genius and the utter mediocrity of his students. The film relies on this perfect dissonance, exploring the daily absurdities of a master trapped in a mundane world, where sublime music meets human folly.

What lingers after the final note is the joyful chaos of creation itself. Those who tire of staid period pieces will find a brilliantly anachronistic and witty portrait of an artist. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Jean-Christophe Hembert
