  Bringing Legends to Life: A Stunning Tribute to Charles Aznavour!
From his  childhood to his rise to fame, from his triumphs to his failures, from Paris to New York, discover the exceptional journey of an artist. Intimate, intense, fragile and indestructible, devoted to his art until the very end, here is one of the most immortal singers of all time: MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR.
The rise of Charles Aznavour in the 1950s. From cabaret singer to anonymous lyricist, to dedicated composer, and finally to glorious crooner, he became the most celebrated Francophone artist in the world through his hard work and resilience.  It is this prodigious career bringing together childhood dreams and fierce adult ambitions, sometimes incredible adventures amongst fellow creative people, and a perpetually unsatisfied struggle to reach the top.
  The Film that not only focuses on the artist but also highlights the importance of his entourage (and what an entourage it was for Aznavour: Édith Piaf, Juliette Gréco, Gilbert Bécaud).
"Even if you are not a fan of Aznavour's work and songs, the film is recommended for viewing to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Europe during the almost whole 20th century!
This is beautiful and moving  film you won't want to miss-it's an unforgettable experience that you'll be glad you watched! "
"Great movie and the cast is fantastic, it was a really emotional movie.To be honest, I did not really know what to expect from this movie. The end was chosen carefully (no spoiler!) and moved me - together with most of the audience - to tears. Go see it, it is a gem!"
