Plot
Summary: Two best friends, Johanna and
Jeanne, live in the small town of Decazeville, a mining
town in France. One year at the Miners' Ball, the
music group The Sirens perform, of which Johanna and
Jeanne are members. In a spontaneous moment, a new
friend of Johanna's (named Luc) discovers Johanna
and Jeanne's incredible musical talent and singing
ability when they sing a duet together without musical
accompaniment. The two girls begin practicing and
recording in a studio together with the help of Luc
and an arranger, Jasper, and finally manage to record
a tape with a few songs. A co-worker of Jeanne's joins
their team as Jasper's assistant. Just after Luc leaves
for Paris to take the tape around to various record
companies, the others spot posters for a music contest,
but only single artists may enter, and Johanna is
chosen by the group to enter. She appears on live
TV and is an instant hit, but with only one problem:
as she begins to perform before the cameras, Jasper
cuts out her mike and inserts a recording of Jeanne's
voice instead. Everyone except for this small group
of insiders believes it's really Johanna singing,
and their lives snowball from there.
Comments:
Great
Movie, Better Soundtrack. I saw this movie years ago
and still remember how great it is. I had heard the
soundtrack before watching the movie and although
I liked it, it wasn't until I watched the movie that
the soundtrack got a whole new meaning. Besides the
excellent soundtrack, performed and composed by Maïdi
Roth for this film, the movie it self shows a phenomenal
plot, a very interesting story and excellent performances
by the actors. This truly is one of my favorite movies
and I recommend it for everyone to watch. I just hope
that soon there will be a DVD release of it in the
US.
