Thibaut is an internationally renowned conductor who travels the world. After he learns of his adoption, he discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy, who works in a school cafeteria and plays the trombone in a small marching band. Everything seems to set them apart, except their love of music. Marching Band is a beautifully tender and poignant portrayal of family and the lengths we’re willing to go for the ones we love.
Nominated for Best Film at the César Awards

A huge hit in its native France, this uplifting, moving and subtly funny affair has been making friends right around the world..   Leigh Paatsch – Daily Telegraph (Australian)

Emmanuel Courcol’s Gallic charmer is nevertheless the film we need right now: a story in which people learn to be their best selves; that pays respect to working communities torn apart by the global economy; a story, moreover, centred on a brass band…..Stephanie Bunbury – Sydney Morning Herald
