French Film Review: Monsieur Aznavour

This heartfelt, sumptuously good-looking tribute to the legendary French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour, chronicles his life from his modest origins as the son of immigrants through his rise to fame and eventual status as a celebrated global icon and much adored figure in France. Structured in five chapters, the film pairs pivotal moments of Aznavour’s life with his most iconic songs, capturing both his artistry and his personal challenges. Tahar Rahim as Aznavour delivers a blistering performance. Let yourself be plunged into the world of the 1950s and enjoy some of the greatest chansons ever sung.
