Be be a story that you gesehenhat many times: from children who have a hard time, but with a lot of talent. From a teacher who starts to reach with m seemingly hopeless goal, loses Mutzwischendurch and n finds him in time. The story that one, two hours in spotlight of se children, who are accustomed, especially as Problemfällegesehen, gives anor confidence, a confidence in DieZukunft, in ir own possibilities of action. And that gives spectator pleasant feeling that re is hope in this world, because whoever wants it can do it.
The French film La Mélodie – Klangvon Paris tells exactly this story. But in this film about a violin teacher at a Parisian problem school, it's like seeing her for first time. How two different worlds meet, and in this encounter something new, very human and almost affectionate arises, as children's eyes turn into resolute and adult skepticism in openness. Why does debut of first 32-year-old director Rachid Hami look so different?
It is mainly due to its extreme sobriety. And person who embodies accolade sobriety: Kad Merad, who is known as protagonist of French comedies as Welcome to Sch ' tis. In La Mélodie He is not recognizable again. He plays musician SimonDaoud with a withdrawn presence.
The violin teacher keeps his environment at a distance. He also enters his new workplace, a school between high-rise buildings of 19th arrondissement, with an internal defensive stance. Belleville is a suburb, comparable perhaps with Berlin-Kreuzberg, which is now gentrifiziertist to large parts, but not everywhere, not here, at subway station place of fêtes.
The class teacher Farid Brahimi (also very good: Samir Guesmi) greets him kindly and introduces him to students: Sehrlebendige almost-already-adolescents, around 13 years, at an age in which each word is examined for a possible sexuelleKonnotation. "Why do you have such einesexy baldness?" is first question that Daoud hears from Kindernzu. This kind of nonsense is difficult for sensitive musician to tolerate. "How am I to study with se students within half a few months Scheherazade of Rimsky-Korsakov so that y can play m in Philharmonie?" is only, desperate question in Daoud head.
The RegisseurRachid Hami has been oriented for film on real project demonstrations of Paris Philharmonic, which provides children in schwierigenStadtteilen musical instruments. All children, in La Mélodie, are amateur performers who were found beimCasting on spot in Belleville – and all of m, toger with adult protagonists, have actually learned violin for film.
Watching children slowly familiarity with instrument, always serving violin more safely, is extremely touching. They make mselves prestigious instrument, DieseJungen and girls, who are not accustomed to chauffeured to any afternoon offers that do not experience ambitious support from ir parents. But you sindlern and inquisitive, you want to make progress as soon as Siemerken that someone is interested in you. And because walls of ir apartments are thin and neighbors are no friends squeaky beginner sounds, se children practice on rooftops of skyscrapers.
