Drama, Classical Music, LGBTQ
(LES JOURS HEUREAUX)
2023, Chloé Robichaud, Canada
With Sophie Desmarais, Sylvain Marcel
The privileged world of classical music is the setting for drama on and off the concert stage as Emma (Desmarais), a young rising star conductor, makes a misstep that may put her dream of a prestigious new job in peril. Emma’s controversial program for the final concert of her residency triggers a fraught confrontation with her personal demons, including her relationships with her controlling father/manager and her lesbian lover. Actor Desmarais was coached by conductors Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Kensho Watanabe, and Nicolas Ellis to master her conducting movements. The film’s soaring music includes pieces by Mozart, Schoenberg, and Mahler. In French with English subtitles.
“Robichaud’s films don’t fit the traditional mold…it’s led to her being one of the most truly exciting filmmakers in the world.”–Stephen Saito, The Moveable Fest
“An effective (and affecting) drama that boasts a spellbinding performance at its core.”–David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
