‘Monsieur Aznavour’: Iconic vocalist’s life depicted on the screen in France


He was an icon of French chanson. Charles Aznavour’s talent for lyrics illuminated the 20th century and continued until his death in 2018. The singer-songwriter’s life has now been adapted for the screen by Mehdi Idir and slam poet Grand Corps Malade. Film critic Perrine Quennesson explains why actor Tahar Rahim’s portrayal of “Monsieur Aznavour” is a compelling reason to watch the film. We also delve into another biopic, “Niki”, which explores the challenges and successes of Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle. Additionally, we review François Ozon’s latest family drama “When Fall is Coming” and an animated film, “Savages”, which combines environmental themes with a jungle adventure.”
