Critic Reviews

Has an odd mix of quickly grabbed handheld shots and scenes of striking beauty.

Honigmann assembles a mosaic of the postcolonial diaspora that populates the crowded ethnic enclaves of Paris, and the emotional, lovingly captured songs seem to turn the City of Light into a bazaar of world music.

A world-beat city symphony.

Thoughtful look at the itinerant street musicians of Paris.

At its best the film serves as a music appreciation class taught by embattled artists whose cloudy livelihoods grow increasingly uncertain with each bittersweet symphony.
