The fine culture meets the people of the Feelgood movie, which may not revolutionize the genre, but has several enjoyable elements of cultural warmth. “A fanfare for life” may not dare to go down too deep into a potentially wound and sore matter, but moan and stir despite a fairly simple approach to the main characters’ special situation.

Discovering unknown brother In the film’s estimates, Thibaut Desormeaux (Benjamin Lavernhe) gets a serious leukmiatric and needs a bone marrow donor. Then he discovers that he was adopted as a baby and that he has an unknown brother, namely Jimmy Lecocq (Pierre Lottin), who he then contacts.

It also becomes clear how similar they are in certain areas, especially when it comes to music. Thibaut discovers that Jimmy plays trombone in a local janitor corps that loses his conductor in the run -up to a competition. Clear contrasts The film’s best ingredient is the dynamics between the brothers, which are initially uncertain and groping, but gradually turn into a deeper friendship. The clear contrasts of history between high -cultural Thibaut and the presumptively simpler Jimmy are nuanced when both Thibaut and we among the audience are surprised by his hidden qualities, which makes us meet our own prejudices in the door. Jimmy (Pierre Lottin) joins the local janitor corps in “A Fan Fare of Life”.

Director Emmanuel Courcol (“Ceasefire”, “The Big Hit”) paints with a relatively broad brush, where Thibaut’s grief over prelude opportunities and Jimmy’s suppressed ambitions will never be more than dramaturgical spice on a musical comidrama with illness as a backdrop.
