Wednesday Movie Club: The Marching Band

A celebrated orchestra conductor's life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers that he was adopted and has a brother he never knew existed. Even more surprising, his newfound brother is a cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a small-town marching band. Their unlikely reunion reveals a shared love of music and sets both men on a path neither could have anticipated. A hit at the Cannes Film Festival, this French comedy-drama is funny, moving and enormously charming, a crowd-pleasing story about music, family and the strange ways life can bring people together.
