Great story, excellent characters. You can cry and laugh, but mainly laugh. Highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful film. It would give away too much to go into what it's about, but some of its many gags may be lost on people who aren't familiar with Russia. Otherwise though it is fun and moving.

My family really love this movie but it apparently is in two versions – “Le Concert” – the European version which is not in Region code 4 (NZ), and this version “The Concert” which I believe is sourced from the US. I've seen comments by viewers of both to the effect that the one we have bought has small editing cuts through it to assist with the flow of the story. When we watched this version and although I think there may have been a few cuts especially in the humourous sections, it doesn't delete them, just appears to modify them. So all in all, we loved it and are very happy that we bought it at such a good price.
