Monsieur Aznavour

In the organizer's words:

Paris in the 1930s. When young Charles takes part in a play for a few coins, he discovers his talent for the stage and decides to become a singer. The conditions could hardly be worse: with no money, the son of Armenian immigrants and an unusual voice, no one believes in his success. Driven by unbridled ambition, Charles spares neither effort nor risk, and when he comes to the attention of chanson icon Edith Piaf, fame seems within his grasp. But is he prepared to leave the people he loves behind for his dream? With well over 1000 songs that have been interpreted in countless languages, Charles Aznavour has inspired generations. In this impressive biopic, Tahar Rahim embodies the legendary chansonnier intensely and authentically in all his facets.
