Monsieur Aznavour

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!

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.

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!

Bravo to Tahar Rahim! I've always believed that a great film starts with an outstanding actor, and Rahim exceeds all expectations. Who could have imagined that his resemblance to Charles Aznavour would be so striking? Having seen Aznavour perform live in the past, I was amazed at how perfectly Rahim captured not only his appearance but also his signature mannerisms. It felt like Aznavour himself was brought back to life on screen!

Another fascinating aspect of the film is its vivid portrayal of 20th-century Paris, where we get glimpses of other iconic figures like Edith Piaf. It immerses you in that glamorous era, bringing the lives of these legends to the forefront.

The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking-precisely executed and visually captivating, it keeps you engaged from start to finish. Directors Grand Corps Malade and Mehdi Idir have truly crafted a masterpiece, recreating Aznavour's life with remarkable authenticity.

This is a film you won't want to miss-it's an unforgettable experience that you'll be glad you watched!
