Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
By getting nominated for Academy Awards in both the Foreign Language Film and Best Song categories, Les Choristes (The Chorus) made a rare (for a European film) double impression at the 2004 Oscars. This sentimental tale follows the arrival of a new teacher at a remote boys school in 1949 France (the war is a largely unspoken but ghostly presence). With disciplinary problems rampant, and the policies of the old-fashioned headmaster not helping, Monsieur Mathieu decides to introduce choral singing as a way to bridge the gap with his students. You don't need a crystal ball to figure out where this will go, although the movie uses its atmospheric location and lush vocal arrangements well. Bald, dumpy Gerard Jugnot provides a refreshingly offbeat hero: he's sort of a younger Philippe Noiret. Director Christophe Barratier works in the winsome-cute mode that makes a certain kind of French movie into an overly sweet bon bon, although at least this bon bon sings. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com
Rating:
- wonderful story
We all loved this story. My daughters 14 and 20 really enjoyed this film.
Rating: - exquisitely sentimental tearjerker
What a sweet, sweet film! Absolutely delicious music (bravo! to the composer), gorgeous yet restrained cinematography and a simple heartfelt & inspirational "biographical" screenplay. Box of tissues recommended.
Rating: - brilliant
In spain they show this film in the schools to 14yr olds. It was my two teenagers who told me I would love the film. I did and I have since bought it for my dad in the uk who thought it was 'brilliant'. The music stays with you forever. You forget that the film is in French and I think this actually adds charm to the film. A definite must see but be prepared to cry at the end.
Rating: - Enthralling
No guns, no car chase. My teenage lads have shown it to their friends. A group, 13 years of age plus, actually applauded at the end of the film and asked to see it again. It should be shown in schools!
Rating:
- Adding to the CHORUS!
What can I say that has not already been said much more elegantly than I ever could? I must add that the soundtrack is wonderful. Let me, then, just add my praise for the CHORUS to the chorus! :):):)
