Comedian Harmonists (1997)

£0.00


Country: GER
Technical: col 129m
Director: Joseph Vilsmaier
Cast: Ben Becker, Heino Ferch, Günter Lamprecht, Meret Becker

Synopsis:

From the late Twenties to the mid Thirties a German quintet of vocalists and their accompanist enjoy an enthusiastic following until the Nazi regime prohibits the three Jewish members from performing.

Review:

A persuasive portrait of a group characterised by its commitment to music, eschewing many of the commonplace disagreements that bedevil such ensembles (though providing one or two extreme ones of its own) and affording a glimpse of a musical idiom beyond the reach of most of us, whether by inclination or ignorance.
