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 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.
