The Singer
Directed by Xavier Giannoli
Produced by EuropaCorp, Rectangle Productions
A tender, melancholic romance set against the fading world of French dance-bands, exploring aging, desire, and the bittersweet pull of connection.
Alain Moreau sings for one of the few remaining dance-bands in Clermont-Ferrand. Though something of an idol amongst his female audience he has a melancholic awareness of the slow disappearance of that audience and of his advancing years. He is completely knocked off balance when he meets strikingly attractive and much younger businesswoman Marion. She seems distant and apparently otherwise involved but soon shows quiet signs of reciprocating his interest.
