Singing! Violence! Radiation! A Trailer For LE PLAISIR DE CHANTER!

Tell me this: what sort of spy movie has a title that translates to The Pleasure Of Singing? A very unusual one, that’s for sure, and one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Both certainly seem to be the case with Ilan Duran Cohen’s Le Plaisir De Chanter.
Muriel and Philippe work for an intelligence agency but also form an unlikely pair of lovers. Their latest assignment is to recover a secret hidden (maybe unwittingly) by Constance, the attractive widow of a shady businessman. Constance, a calm and naive woman, attends an opera singing class, and one by one Muriel, Philippe and an increasing number of other spies with bewitching voices sign up. They are all up against each other, each trying to discover the pretty widow’s secret. In this absurd black comedy, voices break free, bodies intermingle and hearts chase after one another.
Cohen certainly knows his way around a camera and he’s got one very engaging cast to work with here but what is perhaps most surprising - and impressive - is the way the comedy and action seem to work together in this trailer. French humor tends to be incredibly broad - almost unwatchably so in many cases - but Cohen plays his comedy for subtlety, allowing the absurdity of the situation to do the comic work while, apparently, having all of his actors play things straight. Fantastic. Check the trailer out in the Twitch Player below the break.
