He was an icon of la chanson française. Charles Aznavour’s lyrical talent illuminated the 20th century and shone until his death in 2018. The singer-songwriter’s life has now been brought to the screen by Mehdi Idir and slam poet Grand Corps Malade. Film critic Perrine Quennesson tells us why actor Tahar Rahim’s performance as “Monsieur Aznavour” is an excellent reason to see the film. We also discuss another biopic, “Niki”, which revisits the trials and triumphs of Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle.
