Monsieur 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!

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 !!!!

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.

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!
