Younger and older characters I have analysed this definition for a long time, from revolve around G ab and Leila: Africans, Arabs, my perspective as a young film maker, committed to a quasi-naive doctrine where cinema can only exist Parisian bourgeois... a real portrait of a multicultural and multiracial Paris. when it is fed by real life. I’ve often told myself that this notion of pure entertainment that is a musical could only take me away from my convictions. But The Music. no one ever told me that an author couldn’t both entertain and convey a message, so I just went It seems to me that the music, the film’s heart, must both carry and sublimate the story’s ambitions. for it...

Estrougo: C inema genre appealing to their collective unconscious, and to where comedy, dance and music are mixed to create a charged, hard-hitting and absolutely contemporary picture of our society. expand the ‘second degree’ aspect of the film. I was free to make multiple allusions, to take risks both to reach a far greater number of people by My story will be first and foremost political, but not just political. The storylines of musicals are built on a classic dramatic framework: the love story. From W E ST SI D E STO RY to M O U LI N R O U G E, musicals have been rooted in passionate and impossible love stories. That’s certainly the case here when G ab, a child of privileged Parisian society, meets Leila, a beautiful girl from the rough 1 8th arrondissement. Their conflicting worlds will collide and confront each other, the better to accept each other in the end. My story’s second inspiration comes from political commitment – around this whirlpool of love, the terrible reality of illegal immigration and deportation rises. There is also the question of social injustice and exclusion. when using certain ‘sacred’ lyrics that might be old-fashioned and uncool to some. We have covers of songs by Khaled, Françoise H ardy, M, C laude François, Joe Dassin, Nino Ferrer, Jacques Brel, Michel B erger... What better tool to illustrate France than a wellprotected heritage in desperate need of rejuvenation? The arrangements are faithful to the tone of the film: urban pop, with African and Eastern undertones and a splash of elegance. I want this film to make the audience dream as well as think, sing as well as dance. To startle as well as dazzle. All in all, a true work of cinema. - Audrey Estrougo I do not deny that I consider cinema to be a serious and useful medium, much more than just entertainment, and I regard this film as a tool for reflection and assessment of a situation.
