Did you miss the Fête de la Musique festivities? Are you disappointed with the cancellation of the Eurovision competition? Or are you just looking for a nice little film to relax? We have what you need ! Available now on Netflix, the musical Eurovision Song Contest : The Story of Fire Saga retraces the journey of the two Icelandic singers Sigrit and Lars, interpreted by Rachel McAdams and Will Ferrell. They have an ultimate dream: to win the famous Eurovision competition. However, they are far from having the support of their family, and even less of their own country who make fun of them when they have the opportunity. It was without counting an unexpected event which will offer Fire Saga the chance to shine on the famous stage of Eurovision. The adventure will not be without difficulty, however.
Lars and Sigrit “fell” into Eurovision when they were children and were going through a difficult time. They were never left and never left their goal right from the start. Especially not Lars, for whom winning is the most important point. It was out of the question for him to participate and be ridiculed. He wants to win the competition. Sigrit, as a romantic, above all wants to live a unique experience and sing with her heart. Needless to say, this fun and touching duo will have a great adventure that will take them to Scotland, the location of the Eurovision organization.
Elfs, chase, jealousy, explosion, turnarounds, blows, ghost, romance … Eurovision Song Contest : The Story of Fire Saga would almost approach the epic, as its two main protagonists go from adventures to adventures. With Eurovision as a backdrop and its sometimes surprising performances. Will Ferrell, who co-wrote the script, describes the film as a love letter to the competition, and that’s exactly what it is. Behind the parodic side one feels a benevolent glance towards the artists of Eurovision, and not mocking. Besides, if you are used to following the competition, a musical sequence should particularly appeal to you.
Eurovision Song Contest : The Story of Fire Saga don’t just talk about music. A comedy full of good feelings, it reminds us of the importance of following our wildest dreams, but also of knowing how to get back on stage after falling from it. Eurovision Song Contest : The Story of Fire Saga may not revolutionize the genre, but still remains a film that is both funny and touching, especially thanks to its impeccable casting. Difficult to resist the very nice duo formed by Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, or even the bad mood of the character played by Pierce Brosnan. As for Dan Stevens, more than ever thoroughly in his role as a rich Russian playboy, his nonchalance can only make you smile. Whether you are a fan of Eurovision or just looking for simple entertainment without headache, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga has everything you need. If on the other hand you are rather action-oriented, the French film Lost bullet is still available on Netflix.
