Monsieur Aznavour (expired event)

Golden Globe-nominated actor Tahar Rahim stars as iconic singer/songwriter Monsieur Aznavour in this rise-to-stardom biopic.

Immerse yourself in the story of the man who beat all odds to not only become one of France’s best-loved entertainers, but personified French culture to the rest of the world. Led by its star's astonishing performance and stunning vocal prowess, MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR is as intimate as it is spectacular, serving as a triumphant reminder of the power and impact of music.

Don’t miss one of France’s biggest hits of the year.

Born in Paris in 1924 as the son of Armenian refugees, Charles Aznavour’s formative years are spent in poverty, ridiculed for his short stature and raspy tenor voice – traits he would in time fully embrace. His gift for music finds more success in the hands of others, including his friend Pierre (Bastien Bouillon), and later the imperious Edith Piaf (a scene-stealing Marie-Julie Baup), who becomes a highly influential mentor and supporter. But by the 1950s his empathetic ‘chansons' about the heartbreaks, confusions and passions of the common man (mining the dramas of his own life) catapult him to global attention.
