The resounding audience favourite of the 2025 French Film Festival Aotearoa, writer/director Emmanuel Courcol's wildly entertaining new film MY BROTHER'S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate and reunited by music. Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, 'Delicious', 'C’est la vie!') is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts. An eruptive crowd-pleaser wherever it has screened (notably receiving the highest audience score in the 51-year history of the San Sebastián Film Festival), MY BROTHER’S BAND is a rousing, feel-great trip to the cinema, expertly striking the perfect harmony between laughter and tears to celebrate family, community and the beauty and hope of collective spirit.
