Monsieur Aznavour

Biopics rarely succeed, specially when trying to put a whole long life and career into a 2 hour movie. It's not possible.

Technically the film is 'well done' but has no character. So many things nags in this movie are 'well done', but again, no charaer cter no depth. The lead actor is just ok, but again, at the same time bland. Aznavour was not a tall man, 5ft4 is mentioned in the film, probably he was even shorter, so maybe one would choose an actor in a somewhat similar height range...?

Edith Piaf's relationship with Aznavour comes over extremely bland and boring, all his wives show no character - mostly all decoration.

Why as it so important to point out more than once that he was not Jewish. I don't care, but somebody thought it is.

We learn nothing about how he became sa great composer..just by deciding to be one?

Anyway that all has to fall wayside when cramming a bio into a biopic.

Been a long, long while since a movie of this quality has been shown in theaters. Throughout the full two hours of the movie, my eyes barely blinked and, somehow, my attention was full all the time. Directing, acting, storyline, culture, tradition, drama, every single aspect of the movie was just perfect. I literally can't imagine it being any better than this. We were just speechless at the end of the movie and couldn't believe that we came to the cinema just to spend some time, and ended up watching one of the best movies we've seen in our lives.

Very big salute to all the producers that made this movie a reality. You have portrayed Aznavour in the absolute best way possible.

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 !!!!

First to all rules from a good biopic was respect ! This movie it's very a tribute for him-self and his fans and in the same time explain his story. For me on these points the movie it's succeed !!! 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 !!!!

The performance from the main character it's crazy he played very well and same thing for the rest of the cast !!!

The director makes a good job too, you felt very in old times from the set background, the colors using in the shoot's....

And the rest of works from people who work in shadows, the crew thanks to them, The costumes were really well done too !!!

This movie it's very a good movie and biopic for all fans who loves Charles Aznavour and people like me who doesn't know before his story and try to get into...

Not masterpiece biopic but a very good one, as said this movie its completely a Tribute !!!!

This was my first encounter with Charles Aznavour - a really important iconic figure and symbol of France. The story is very compelling and what a hard life he had before his breakthrough. One fact really surprised me - the song "What's the Difference" - Dr. Dre feat. Eminem and Xzibit was inspired by and contains a horn section in the instrumental, as well as a sample of "Parce Que Tu Crois" by Charles Aznavour.

The movie shows so many aspects and questions that are universal to human beings. What is the price of fame? Where is the line between working all the time and spending time with family? The constant drive of an artistic spirit to always do more and the feeling of never enough.

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!
