To celebrate La Fête de la musique (World Music Day - 21 June) we are delighted to present Not My Type (Les Goûts et les couleurs) by Michel Leclerc, a tender, witty exploration of artistic ambition, love, and the clash between creativity and commercial reality.

Marcia, a passionate young singer, is recording an album with her idol Daredjane, a rock icon of the 1970s, who suddenly disappears. To release their album she must convince Daredjane’s heir, Anthony, a small-town market vendor who has never liked his distant relative, let alone his music. Their two worlds clash between good and bad taste, popular and chic, sincerity and lies. Unless love gets in the way, of course…
