Additional InformationA memorable entry in the genre of inspirational pedagogical films, THE CHORUS is an uplifting tale of a masterful teacher who put his heart into his work and changed the lives of his students forever. With a soundtrack of boys' singing, the lovely music of this film is the glue that will stick to viewers long after watching it. Set in 1940s rural France, at a school for poor boys who are delinquent or orphaned, the story feels timeless in the way that it captures a crucial moment in the lives of the boys involved. Ranging from early elementary school level to junior high, the boys struggle for independence and self-expression. They defy authority, especially when it comes from their brutally unfair and abusive headmaster, Rachin (Francois Berleand). And in general, because they feel neglected by their families, or don't have any family at all, there is something disjointed and sullen about the boys. Only after their teacher, Clement Mathieu (Gerard Jugnot), shows them that he will guide them, befriend them, and teach them by peaking their curiosity, not by insisting or punishing, do they begin to change. The choir he forms, and the songs he teaches the boys, become a source of pride for them, allowing them to rise above the confines of their meagre and stifling school, and dream of a bright future. Director/writer Christophe Barratier has created a moving and beautiful film with more than a few life lessons hidden within. The music, written by Bruno Coulais, features the angelic voice of Jean-Paul Bonnaire, who plays Morhange in the film.
ReviewsFilm Review - Beautifully judged, wonderfully played and honestly told, as uplifting as the music that accompanies it, The Chorus is so very French and breathtakingly good, Daily Mail - An exceptional film

Les Choristes
This film was so popular in France that it led many people to start singing in choirs again. It's touching & moving, as well as forceful when needed - and beautifully shot, acted and made. French film-making at its bestVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beautiful inspirational film
This movie is a wonderful testament to what a difference it makes when people come from a place of love instead of fear, and how a seemingly hopeless situation can be turned around in a miraculous way. Loved it. The making of the film is also very much worth watching.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Boarding school children united in song
Lot of cruelty to young children but music beautiful. Unfortunately this chorister of children from Lyon le cœur de St Marc ceased in 2019. The master is trying to bring unity, love, less misbehaviour, less cruelty but singing togetherVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the most touching movie ever ! All characters so brilliantly played...
One of my very best movies. Touching, very realistic, moving, splendid both for the music and the old school environment. The main character is not know in the UK, but is such a brilliant actor ! All others are very good as well anyway... The songs are wonderful, my kids sing them regularly as they are soft and sung by young but already professional little singers. The choice of choir pieces matches the ambiance perfectly. I can't find good enough words to describe this movie.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
