Boum! Boum! En avant la musique! is a 29 minute fiction movie filmed in Paris in 1974 in 16 mm colour (Kodakhrome II), interpreted by Jaume Xifra and Pierre Restany, and edited on DVD in 2007.

The pathetic figure of a Marshal wanders a mound of boots of dead soldiers, as a parody of the military leaders that always survive at the rear bases, draws a kind of rancid and triumphalist path. “The film inspires a metaphor that engages you into a soft delirium. It is a playful critique, resounding and burlesque, a savage attack against the inconsistency of the war, and a chant to the revealing and committed creativity”. (Pierre Restany)

It is a musical film with a wide repertoire of songs from the soldierly that includes speeches and original photographic documents from World War I.

Besides, if we go through the cast of actors, together with Xifra, Restany, Miralda himself –who interprets the soldier-, we can find names like Denis Rivière, Jean-Pierre Béranger, Liliane François or Roy Adzak. All of them evoque the Parisian artistic atmosphere that Miralda and Rossell frequented at the beginning of the 70’s
