French Film Festival 2026 - The Musicians
Saturday 23 May at 2.00pm, Adults: $16, Conc: $14.

The enchanting new comedy of manners from acclaimed writer/director Gregory Magne, THE MUSICIANS stars Valrie Donzelli as a wealthy heiress whose plan to stage a landmark concert is derailed by the clashing egos of the virtuosos recruited for the performance. Astrid Thompson (Donzelli) is determined to honour her late industrialist fathers final wish: unite four priceless Stradivariusstringed instruments for the premiere recital of a new composition by his favourite artist, to be live-streamed for music lovers globally. With just six days to rehearse, a quartet is assembled, but the dream quickly unravels: the musicians are at odds, blinded by their differences and prejudices, and seemingly incapable of working together. With the deadline fast approaching, Astrid tries to coax the reclusive composer of the score, Charlie Beaumont (Frederic Pierrot), out from creative seclusion in the desperate hope of salvaging the event As the film crescendos to a tender, exhilarating finale where harmony is found not only in music but human connection, THE MUSICIANS celebrates both the chaos and beauty of collaboration. Set amidst the villas, vineyards, and chapels of the stunning Champagne region, with an exquisite original score by Gregoire Hetzel, this is sparkling entertainment for the heart (and ears).
