Gôshu de cellist
Isao Takahata / JP, 1982 / 61 min.
Tender, poetic Japanese animation about a boy who plays cello, but is kicked out of the orchestra. He manages to fight his way back with the help of animals. Dubbed live (in Dutch) preceded by a brief cello recital. For audiences aged 6 and up.
Gôshu is a shy student of music who would one day love to equal his role model: Ludwig van Beethoven. However, he lacks musical experience and more importantly, self confidence. The conductor often blames him for things and he is made fun of by his comrades. He decides to only practice at night in future. Unfortunately his progress remains slow, but he is visited by a number of animals: a cat, a cuckoo, a badge rand a field mouse who encourage him and teach him patience, accuracy and expressivity.
