Title: beautiful coming of age story that is not feel-good pap
Review: This is a touching film about a troubled youth whose talents are emerging right at the moment that a great teacher is there to help. The boy, who became a major talent in music, is in a brutal boarding school that is almost a reform school. You have the typical roster of characters: the idealistic new guy who wants to try new things, the stodgy hide-bound boss who indulges in cruel injustice, the love interest, an evil delinquent, and blooming children in very bad circumstances. But there is a difference: for many, things don't work out, with terrible consequences. WW II is also in the background, as France is pulling itself up and new paths are opening up. The music is also beautiful, the boy of angelic beauty of body and voice.This is a very nice film that doesn't fall inside simplistic stereotypes. I have watched this many times with my family and feel moved every time. Recommended warmly.
