Here's the trailer for Cette musique ne joue pour personne, a fable full of poetry and quirky characters:
Synopsis: In Boulogne-sur-Mer, Jeff leads a small group of thugs. While his wife watches television, Jeff falls in love with Roxanne, a cashier. He uses his men to approach her, and gradually opens up to an unexpected form of tenderness. Meanwhile, other members of the group discover emotions and art, through contact with a stuttering actress or by confronting their teenage children.
The film is aimed at adult audiences who enjoy offbeat, poetic comedies in the tradition of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Bruno Podalydès. Cette musique ne joue pour personne surprises with its mix of suburban universe, absurdist romance and emphasis on art as an engine for intimate transformation. It stands out for the tenderness it infuses into characters often perceived as brutal or insensitive.
The film was shot in northern France, notably in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The cast includes regulars from Samuel Benchetrit's world, such as Vanessa Paradis, as well as popular figures from French cinema like Ramzy Bedia and François Damiens. The film was presented at the Festival du Film Francophone d'Angoulême and praised for its singular tone.
