Für Antonia Brico (Christinae De Bruijn) gibt es nur ein Ziel im Leben. Sie will Dirigentin werden. Doch zu ihrer Studienzeit in den 1920er Jahren ist dieses Vorhaben geradezu ausgeschlossen. Von Männern dominiert, muss sie doppelt so hart arbeiten wie ihre männlichen Genossen. Von Männern belächelt, wird sie nicht nur von anderen Dirigenten geächtet, sondern zugleich von den Musikern selbst. Sie solle ihren Platz im Orchester kennen.Im Biopic von Regisseurin Maria Peters wird der ersten Dirigentin der Welt ein filmisches Denkmal gesetzt. Im Jahr 1934 dirigierte sie ihr das neu gegründete Frauensinfonieorchester, 1938 wurde der Niederländerin als erste Frau erlaubt die New Yorker Philharmonic zu dirigieren. Überall auf der Welt gastierte sie und ebnete einer weiteren Generation an Frauen den Weg. „You’re either born a musician or you’re born not a musician. It has nothing to do with gender“, sagte sie einst. (Studio Hamburg Enterprises)

Any story about a strong woman who went out on her own and started blazing a trail for us women to fulfill our dreams always moves me at least a little. Watching a time when it was nearly impossible for a woman to stand in front of an orchestra stirs a range of feelings in me. Things may be different today, but it certainly can't be said that all women everywhere can always decide what they want to be. And where they can choose, in some fields they are still not respected as much as men. And not just by the male gender, but by the female gender as well. I myself think of the word "conductor" as a man. That's how we know it, that's how it's presented to us. Now I believe that my perception of the profession will change. I didn't enjoy the romantic storyline, it was quite simplistic. On the other hand, it was probably necessary, or almost necessary, to round out the story. And the fact that at a certain point I didn't sympathize with the heroine makes sense. Love makes fools of us today and every day. I was hesitant, but the feminist in me finally made me incline towards a higher rating. 3.5 stars.

In my opinion, the Dutch don’t exactly shoot the best European films; quite the opposite. So watching The Conductor on Cinemax was a pleasant surprise for me, because this film doesn’t seem just Dutch, but world-class. Moreover, it was the debut role for the lead actress Christanne de Bruijn, who definitely didn’t have an easy job here. But she passed the test with flying colors. A nice story, beautifully captured period, and a light feminist undertone that is to the advantage of the film.

The romanticized life story of Antonia Brico fits very well with the ubiquitous beautiful music. I must admit, however, that it was a bit too over-sweetened for my taste. It looks nice and sounds even better, but I would welcome a somewhat more realistic approach to the whole film. (65%)
