Monsieur Aznavour is 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 is due in French cinemas on October 23, 2024. It stars Tahar Rahim in the title role. Shot on location in France, Armenia and other emblematic places in the singer's life, the film promises to plunge viewers into the heart of the 1950s, when Aznavour began weaving his legendary repertoire.
Monsieur Aznavour follows Charles Aznavour from his first steps on the music scene in the 1950s to his international rise. The film is set to depict the quest for recognition of a determined artist, highlighting his unique ability to capture the essence of Parisian life in his songs. From La Bohème to Emmenez-moi, each song frames an era in his life, its struggles and triumphs, against a backdrop of social and cultural change in France and around the world.
Tahar Rahim plays Charles Aznavour. The actor who amazed us in Désigné Coupable and Le Serpent, and who won both the Césars for Best Actor and Best Young Actor for his performance in Un prophète, should bring remarkable depth and nuance to this complex character. Pierre Roche played by Bastien Bouillon and Edith Piaf played by Marie Julie Baup complete the main trio. Lionel Cecilio and Tigran Mekhitarian also play Gilbert Bécaud and Missak Manouchian respectively, two emblematic figures in Charles Aznavour's life and career.
Aimed at lovers of music and biographical cinema, Monsieur Aznavour aims to capture the spirit of a bygone but fundamental era. The film stands out for its realistic and moving approach, highlighting not only the artist on stage but also the man behind the legend. Its release coincides with a period of renewed interest in music biopics, promising an immersive and nostalgic experience.
Monsieur Aznavour promises to offer an intimate and detailed exploration of the life of Charles Aznavour. Directed by the duo Mehdi Idir and Grand Corps Malade, with Tahar Rahim in the title role, we can't wait to discover this film on October 23, 2024.
