Berwick Film Society: The Marching Band (En Fanfare)

Maltings Cinema at Berwick Barracks | 26 November 2025

Tickets for this film will be available to book from Monday 1 September.

Thibaut is an orchestra conductor of international repute whose work takes him all over the world. Finding out his origins comes as a shock, as does the discovery that he has a younger brother, Jimmy, who lives a very different kind of life.

The situation in which they first meet is challenging for them both. Both men soon recognise they seemingly have little in common except for their shared DNA. Can they find some way to connect and would it prove sufficient to close the gap between them, or only emphasise an insurmountable gulf?

A wonderfully French, humour-laced story that is shamelessly touching as it reaches for the heart.

France 2024 I Director: Emmanuel Courcol

Language: French (subtitled)

“Warm and sure-footed, the film has the feel of a richly-satisfying meal in an excellent neighbourhood bistro. Old-world pleasures of character and story are generously apportioned.”
