Thibaut is a successful conductor, recently diagnosed with leukaemia. His best hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant from a suitable family donor. His sister takes the test, but the results lead to the revelation that Thibaut was actually adopted as a child - and that he has a secret biological brother, cafeteria worker Jimmy. The two brothers meet and discover a shared passion for music, and before long form a strong bond via an unexpected collaboration with Jimmy’s workplace marching band…
The Marching Band is a delight - a French comedy-drama that’s as funny as it is heartwarming. A Boasting a pair of charismatic leading performances from Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin, the film was a box office sensation in its home country of France.
“A good-natured heartwarmer with some syrup, but also two watchable and robust lead performances.” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
★★★★ “Even the most austere observer would be hard pushed not to shed a tear or two.” - Richard Mowe, Eye for Film
