The divisive film Whiplash, depicting the often merciless world of a New York jazz school, premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it received several awards - and more recently it has been voted the best film in the festival's history. Director Damien Chazelle (whose other works include La La Land) collected five Oscar nominations for it, with the soundtrack picking up a Grammy nod as well. A major factor to the film's success in addition to the wonderful acting of Miles Teller, who plays the determined student, and J. K. Simmons, who plays the unrelenting music teacher, was the contribution of composer Justin Hurwitz. And now we will get the chance to experience the music live, while watching the film on the screen set up behind the band. Led by pianist Benoït Sourisse and drummer André Charlier, the Multiquarium Big Band will take on the task of performing the entire soundtrack - along with the jazz standards - exactly as seen on the screen. We can look forward to witnessing a breathtaking artistic feat!

The film will be shown in English with Hungarian subtitles.
