Though not inline with our usual features we talked about this film a great deal and decided that anyone who appreciates the intricate engineering and sense of history that goes into vintage motorcycles and automobiles will be touched by this wonderful short film by Tom Wrigglesworth and Mathieu Cuvelier.
It’s the story of Marc Manceaux and his marvellous little shop in Paris called “Fournitures Generales Pour le Piano” (not surprisingly, that’s “General Piano Supplies” in English).
If you have 5 minutes to spare, find yourself a cup of coffee and a chair, then hit play. You’ll be glad you did.
