concert film  | grande salle | running time 1 hr 45 mn | premiere

Nicolas Barrot, Joachim Latarjet and Alexandre Meyer

Three musicians have accepted an extravagant dare, to create a musical score for a ciné-concert – for a film which is not a silent film. Onstage, using keyboards, drums, guitar, bass, clarinet, trombone, ukulele, daxophone and other instruments, the existing soundtrack including dialogues and subtitles, Joachim Latarjet creates something new out of the masterpiece King Kong, a treasure from the first days of talking films. King Kong needs all of that and more – and we begin to discover the story of the great ape, which oddly enough begins with the shooting of a silent film!
