Days of Happiness (French: Les jours heureux) is a 2023 Canadian drama film written and directed by Chloé Robichaud.
The film stars Sophie Desmarais as Emma, an orchestra conductor who is navigating her toxic relationship with her father and agent Patrick (Sylvain Marcel) and her budding new romantic relationship with Naëlle (Nour Belkhiria) as she considers a great new career opportunity with a prestigious orchestra.
[3] Pat Mullen of That Shelf wrote that "Comparisons to Tár are inevitable, but any similarity begins and end with the lead characters being lesbian conductors with a grasp for Mahler.
(Although one can easily imagine an alternate ending to Days of Happiness that sees Emma conducting Monster Hunter after hitting rock bottom!)
Where Lydia Tár is a virtuoso, but kind of an awful person (deliciously so), Emma desperately needs to escape her toxic relationships.
