Aznavour by Charles./Le Regard de Charles 1hr15 - France, 2019
Rating: M, offensive language - French with English subtitles
In 1948, fellow French music idol Édith Piaf gave Aznavour a Paillard-Bolex film camera that he used religiously to document his life until 1982. Before passing away in October 2018 at the age of 94, Aznavour and his collaborator Marc di Domenico worked through an enormous film archive, the result of which forms the basis of Aznavour by Charles.
“This fascinating documentary, to which Romain Duris lends his voice, propagates the most beautiful of discourses: one can be born very little, be mocked and refused but, ultimately, satisfy his greatest dreams.” - Le Parisien
