A cinematic tribute to one of the icons of French chanson, Charles Aznavour. Directed by Mehdi Idir, known for his work on ‘Patients’, and Grand Corps Malade, who shone with ‘La Vie Scolaire’, this musical biopic stars Tahar Rahim (‘A Prophet’) in the title role.
From his poor childhood to his rise to fame, from his triumphs to his failures, from France to Armenia to New York and other locations that marked the singer's life, the film promises to plunge viewers into the heart of the 1950s and the exceptional journey of an artist devoted to his art till the very end. Cast also includes Bastien Bouillon, Marie-Julie Baup, Victor Meutelet and Rupert Wynne-James. ‘Heartfelt, sumptuously good-looking tribute to the legendary French-Armenian singer’. France Today.
