LES CHORISTES
(THE CHORUS)



THE STORY:
Is an uplifting tale of a masterful teacher who put his heart into his work and changed the lives of his students forever. Set in 1940s rural France, at a school of poor boys who are delinquent or orphaned, the story feels timeless in the way that it captures a crucial moments in the lives of the boys involved. From their brutally unfair and abusive headmaster, Rachin and in general, because they feel neglected by theirs families or don't have one at all. Only after their teacher, Clement Mathieau shows them that he will guide them through his music.

MY NOTES:
This movie was nominated for The best Foreign Movie at the Oscar 2005. Even thought it didn't win, it one of the best movie i ever saw. The story is classic, but touchy, sentimentil but not exaggerated. And of course, these boys sang like an angels. I feel their paint and sorrow through their song, how they seemed moved to the neverland when they did the chorus. And the casts are superbeb! What else can I say, c'est tres maqnifique !! It's classic, and you will watch it over and over again from time to time
