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

    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!

    Bringing Legends to Life: A Stunning Tribute to Charles Aznavour

    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!

    Great musical

    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!

    A Perfect Biopic for all the fans

    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 !!!!

    From failure to triumph

    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.
