Uniting through music and family

"It’s been a big success in France and around the world because there is this need for reconciliation, and we are living in such a fractured world with opposing views. This idea is that everyone can reunite in a musical moment. It’s not a fairy tale but it does show, at the end, an almost utopia of how we could be, of how we could sing together, and this idea of brotherhood." - MY BROTHER'S BAND writer/director Emmanuel Courcol with The Nightly's Wenlei Ma.

ONE OF JAPAN'S GREAT MASTERPIECE FILMS

"I don’t often write about films these days, but I recently saw something at the Japan Film Festival in Australia that was powerful, profound, and haunting enough that it has since occupied all my thinking... KOKUHŌ is art at its most powerful... the perfect agonised cry in response to what modern culture is doing to the arts, and what we as an audience are losing in allowing that to happen." - Digitally Downloaded's editor Matt S on KOKUHŌ.
