Amadeus Entertainment has picked international sales for the Russian film The Find (Nakhodka) by Victor Dement.

The Find’s male lead Alexey Guskov has been nominated as Best Actor for his performance at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, which will be presented in Brisbane on November 26.
Amadeus’ Ivo Fiorenza told ScreenDaily in Tallinn that he is also handling sales on the Ukrainian film The Nest Of The Turtle Dove, which is in post-production.
The Find centres on an elderly, morose and unsociable fishery control inspector who considers those around him as criminals.
After a conflict with local fishermen, he loses his boat and on his long journey home finds anabandoned child in hunter’s lodge.

As much as I enjoy The Birdcage, the Americanized version couldn't hold a candle to the original classic French farce La Cage Aux Folles, in which the setting of the gay club in St. Tropez lends so well to the atmosphere and mood. I was reminded of this while watching The Concert (Le concert), a dramedy set in Russia and Paris. Writer/director Radu Milhaileanu and his collaborator Alain-Michel Blanc originally envisioned creating The Concert in English with American actors to appeal to a mainstream audience. However, the filmmakers decided that English would render the movie more artificial, and decided to shoot in the original languages of Russian and French -- a choice I wholeheartedly support, especially after watching The Concert.
The Concert focuses on Andreï Filipov (Aleksey Guskov), the janitor at the Bolshoi. He enjoys listening to the famed Bolshoi Orchestra, but not because he's a low-class worker aspiring...

Most of us know Mélanie Laurent as one of Quentin Tarantino.s Inglorious Basterds, but Laurent had a lengthy resume even before then. But being that they were all foreign films, very few in the Us experienced her work. With her new international star status that.s all changing and now we.ve got the chance to see her latest release, the French film The Concert. .I knew the movie of the director, there was a movie made before, and I was really honored to work with such an amazing director,. Laurent explained. But Radu Mihaileanu wasn.t the only thing that drew Laurent to The Concert. .The script was really amazing because it.s popular and emotional and a challenge with the violin, so I was really excited to be involved in that project.. The story is about a former conductor, Andrei Filipov (Aleksei Guskov). In his heyday ...

It’s a wonder that the fall of communism hasn’t spawned more lively black comedies like Goodbye Lenin!, Underground, and Children Of The Revolution: The inherent chaos of an entire way of life collapsing is fertile ground for bitter humor, and the attempts to survive in the aftermath naturally spawn a need for laugh-so-you-don’t-cry catharsis. The French-Romanian co-production The Concert gives in to this dynamic, but takes it further, with a strong bent toward happy-ending wish-fulfillment. It acknowledges grief, horror, and loss, but never lets it get in the way of a big, bright laugh. Aleksei Guskov stars ...

The Romanian-born Franco-Israeli writer-director Radu Mihaileanu made a most affecting picture five years ago called Live and Become, chronicling the life over 20 years of an Ethiopian child passed off by his dying mother as a Jewish refugee during Operation Moses, Mossad's 1984 airlift of persecuted Ethiopian Jews, and reared in Israel and France as a Jew. His latest picture, The Concert, which deals obliquely with a similar situation in reverse, is much less satisfactory. The central character is Andrei Filipov (Aleksei Guskov), a once famous Soviet conductor purged by the Kgb in 1980 for his dangerously decent treatment of Jewish musicians and now a cleaner at the Bolshoi. One day he discovers a fax inviting the Bolshoi orchestra (which he despises) to fill in at a prominent Parisian theatre. He conceals the message and gets together a band of fellow Russian outcasts to fill the date. There's a good comic idea here...

Inception (12A)
(Christopher Nolan, 2010, Us) Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard. 148 mins
Nolan pushes the mega-budget cerebral action thriller to its limits here, and possibly beyond, with a multilayered onslaught that could leave you exhilarated, exhausted, or possibly in need of a new brain. The fiendishly complex plot imagines a world where corporate spies can raid your dreams to steal, or plant, ideas. Thus, DiCaprio assembles his team and orchestrates a risky psychic heist involving dreams within dreams within dreams; something like Ocean's Eleven meets Synecdoche, New York, multiplied by James Bond. Even if it follows the logic of the Hollywood blockbuster more than an actual dream, this boldly goes where no blockbuster has gone before. And there's nothing your brain can do to stop it.

There's nothing but lame stereotypes to be found in this duff but well-meaning comedy about a one-time conductor hoping to relive past glories, says Peter Bradshaw
The vivid, piercingly charismatic presence of Mélanie Laurent, who made her breakthrough in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, is the only reason for paying attention to this cheesy Europudding from the Romanian-born director Radu Mihaileanu. It's a broad comedy of stereotypes whose serious themes are sentimentally mishandled, and saddled with a browbeatingly reverential attitude to high culture in the form of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major. Aleksei Guskov gives a somnolent performance as Filipov, a former conductor of the state orchestra in Moscow. A free-thinking liberal, loyal to Jewish musicians, Filipov was fired along with his associates by the communist regime in 1980 as part of an antisemitic purge. Now, in post-Soviet Russia, he is a mere cleaner in the admin offices, in which...

The Concert is one of the best films I’ve seen this year, it’s moving, funny, original, completely satisfying and definitely a surprise hit this year and I hope more people will get to see it amongst the summer blockbusters that mostly disappoint during this seasons of films. So if you care to see another film other than Inception and Toy Story 3 then you should really go check out Radu Mihaileanu’s excellent movie.
The Concert is the story about Andrei Filipov (Aleksei Guskov) a once revered Russian orchestra conductor whose career was destroyed during a performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Violin Concerto when he was sacked and humiliated mid performance for hiring Jews. 30 years later and Andrei now works as a janitor in the Bolshoi desperate to relive his former glory and he gets his chance when he devises a crazy scheme to impersonate the Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra,...

A couple of weeks back, we shared the official UK poster for this film called The Concert, starring Mélanie Laurent (Shosanna in Inglorious Basterds) and Aleksei Guskov. The Weinstein Company recently released the official Us trailer for the film on Apple so our worth watching indie trailer today is for The Concert. A lot of you will probably be thrown off by this, as it's a wacky comedy that involves a classical orchestra, which is just a weird concept to begin with, but it doesn't look bad at all. In fact, it actually looks pretty good, like lots of fun scenes with great music, so I suggest checking this out. Plus, Mélanie Laurent is just beautiful. Enjoy!

Here's a treat for all the Inglourious Basterds out there: a look at the UK quad for Melanie Laurent's new film, The Concert, where she plays a young violin player who is key to the sneaky plans of a conductor-turned-janitor who's out for payback. So pretty much business as usual for her, then.The story has it that thirty years ago, conductor Andrei Simoniovich Filipov (Aleksei Guskov) was fired from the Bolshoi orchestra for hiring too many Jewish musicians. Now, working as a mere janitor at the ballet and learning that the orchestra has been invited to play in Paris, he determines to gather his old favourites and a new prodigy (Laurent) and go in their place...Well, there's no way that could lead to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and/or nailbiting moments as the audacious group try to pull the whole thing off.Directed and written by Radu Mihaileanu,...
