Monsieur Aznavour

To be honest, I did not really know what to expect from this movie. Of course I have heard from Charles Aznavour and know a bit about his background, but his songs sometimes seemed too theatrical. So, unbiassed, I went to see the movie. It was absolutely beautiful, rich in details, very close attention to different time frames during which the movie was set (e.g. The clothing) and the acting simply is very good. Now understanding the often personal background to Aznavour's songs, I came to appreciate them even more. The end was chosen carefully (no spoiler!) and moved me - together with most of the audience - to tears. Go see it, it is a gem!

Great movie, well made, the story is very well presented and the cast is fantastic, it was a really emotional movie.

The story shows the life of a famous composer, singer, musician Charles Aznavour. There was a bit of everything, from his family life, his relations with famous singers and composers to his personal career going all the way to New York.

I was very impressed with the cinematic elements of the film, the angles, the colours, the effects, the director definitely knew what he was doing.

I would like to recommend this movie to everyone who likes the french "chanson" and the french culture!

Bon lecture!

Solid story, amazing camera work, stellar performance!

The film portrays the humble childhood of the artist Charles Aznavour and his rise to the sublime fame which he worked for really hard. All the technical aspects of the film such as directing and casting, camerawork and cinematography, audio and editing were pleasantly satisfying and are done according to good old classic traditions, which is not the case with the new films nowadays. I imagine this film will appeal to culturally and artistically aware audiences in particular.

Overall a very successful project, worthy of portraying the legendary artist Charles Aznavour.

Many of the audiences left the theatre with tears of nostalgia in their eyes. We watched it at the cinema too and now I'm buying the DVD!

A nice movie about a grandiose figure of French and world culture.

However, the taste after watching is very sweet. Such an aftertaste, as after you took sugar from a sugar bowl with a big spoon and put it in your mouth as a child. There is not enough disclosure of dramatic and tragic moments of the hero's life, which happen in the life of each of us. Even being under occupation during WWII was shown quite easily and naturally, with the exception of a couple of scenes.

Even if you are not a fan of Aznavour's work and songs, the film is recommended for viewing to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Europe during the almost whole 20th century!

Honestly I know a little bit the old singer " Charles Aznavour " cause in france in my country it's a legend but I Donnie completely his background well... I know the all essentiels informations about him thanks to this movie and his story it's very passionate thanks to this nice biopic !!!!

And the script it's very passionate you know a lot about him especially when you don't know his story like me ... and you feel not boring during the process of script even if at times it's a little less gripping but for me the story telling it's succeed !!!!
