THE UNDERGROUND ORCHESTRA
dir. Heddy Honigmann, 1999
Peru/France, 108 min
In French w/ English subtitles
MONDAY, DECEMBER 5 – 7:30 PM
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10 – 5 PM
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13 – 7:30 PM
THE UNDERGROUND ORCHESTRA is a glorious documentary profile of musicians who play on the sidewalks of Paris and in the Metro. Honigmann illuminates the lives and music of a ragtag group of international bohemians: an Argentine pianist, Romanian father and son violinists, a Venezuelan harpist, and singers from Mali and Vietnam. All are united by their experiences with political repression, and by a luminous spirit and boundless courage that led them to flee any number of horrendous situations throughout the world. Finding refuge in Paris, music becomes their economic lifeline, but as this film makes movingly clear, it is also a shining metaphor for their will to survive.
