Here’s the much-awaited trailer for “Monsieur Aznavour.” Tahar Rahim has transformed into the iconic singer, and the result is striking. Directed by Mehdi Idir and Grand Corps Malade, the film is set to hit theaters on October 23.
Could this be the most spectacular French biopic of 2024? “Monsieur Aznavour,” featuring Tahar Rahim and co-directed by Grand Corps Malade and Mehdi Idir, is poised to make a significant impact, as the trailer suggests.
The trailer showcases the remarkable transformation of the actor discovered by Jacques Audiard in “A Prophet” 15 years ago. Tahar Rahim embodies the legendary singer over the years, even singing for the film himself.
The storyline is as follows: Son of refugees, short, poor, with a veiled voice, he was told he had nothing to succeed. Through hard work, perseverance, and extraordinary determination, Charles Aznavour became a giant in the music industry and a symbol of French culture.
With nearly 1200 songs performed worldwide in multiple languages, he has inspired generations. Discover the exceptional and timeless journey of Monsieur Aznavour.
“Monsieur Aznavour” narrates the artist’s path to fame. It traces the singer’s rise starting from the 1950s.
Who is Behind “Monsieur Aznavour”?
Grand Corps Malade co-directs with Mehdi Idir, with whom he has previously collaborated on “Patients” and “School Life.” These two films were quite successful, surpassing a million admissions each, with “Patients” drawing 1.2 million in March 2017, and “School Life” attracting 1.8 million in August 2019.
Is this a Sanctioned Biopic?
“Monsieur Aznavour” is partially produced by Jean-Rachid Kallouche, the husband of Katia Aznavour, Charles Aznavour’s daughter. According to him, Charles Aznavour had approved this film project before his passing. “He was impressed by ‘Patients’ and when I told him I wanted to make a movie about his life one day, he immediately said yes.”
As Grand Corps Malade noted, “[Charles Aznavour] passed away just as [they were about to] start the project, even though he was in good health. It was really unexpected. We didn’t make the film right away. We needed to let some time pass.
A few years later, the desire is there. The family wants it to happen. We feel empowered by the legitimacy he gave us.”
“Monsieur Aznavour” will premiere on October 23, 2024, in cinemas.
