L'histoire des membres de la fanfare d'une petite ville minière, Grimlet, dont le chef Danny rêve de participer aux finales du championnat national des fanfares au Royal Albert Hall. Les virtuoses de la fanfare de Grimley joueront-ils à Londres ? Et quand bien même vivraient-ils une journée de gloire passagère, quelle médaille la Direction des charbonnages britanniques leur réserve-t-elle à leur retour ? (La Pellicule Ensorcelée)

The film is thematically similar to its more successful younger siblings, The Full Monty and Billy Elliot. The truth is that this film is not as entertaining as The Full Monty and does not have as sophisticated a screenplay as Billy Elliot, but it is still an above-average British film. It is a film that is much more direct and politically engaged from a left-wing standpoint, with several scenes that are overtly declarative and emotionally calculated, though indeed based on real events when tens of thousands of employees lost their jobs in the 80s and their lives irreversibly collapsed. There are a huge number of films that try to emotionally manipulate the viewer in favor of a much more trivial message. Overall impression: 70%.
