Description:
An inspirational story in the rich tradition of MUSIC OF THE HEART and MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS, THE CHORUS has moved critics everywhere to declare it one of the year's very best films! When he takes a job teaching music at a school for troubled boys, Clément Mathieu is unprepared for its harsh discipline and depressing atmosphere. But with passion and unconventional teaching methods, he's able to spark his students' interest in music and bring them a newfound joy! It also puts him at odds with the school's overbearing headmaster, however, locking Mathieu in a battle between politics and the determination to change his pupils' lives!

By getting nominated for Academy Awards in both the Foreign Language Film and Best Song categories, Les Choristes (The Chorus) made a rare (for a European film) double impression at the 2004 Oscars. This sentimental tale follows the arrival of a new teacher at a remote boys school in 1949 France (the war is a largely unspoken but ghostly presence). With disciplinary problems rampant, and the policies of the old-fashioned headmaster not helping, Monsieur Mathieu decides to introduce choral singing as a way to bridge the gap with his students. You don't need a crystal ball to figure out where this will go, although the movie uses its atmospheric location and lush vocal arrangements well. Bald, dumpy Gerard Jugnot provides a refreshingly offbeat hero (though securely in the traditions of the My Most Memorable Teacher movie); he's sort of a younger Philippe Noiret. Director Christophe Barratier works in the winsome-cute mode that makes a certain kind of French movie into an overly sweet bon bon, although at least this bon bon sings. --Robert Horton

This movie really does not get the credit it deserves. This movie is a must see.

Les Choristes is a touching, charming, funny, and thought-provoking film that teaches many lessons in life. More so, the story focuses on how a teacher encourages a group of underprivileged boys to believe in themselves and their capacities to develop and overcome obstacles in their daily lives. The result is often a feel-good drama and incorporates a balance of light humor. It was a pleasure to see how the film sets off with the two boys as adults reminiscing about school through their teacher's ... Read More

I watched this film because of its Oscar nom, despite lulewarm reviews. There is certainly a lot of pathos involved, and I was more reminded of "Dead Poet's Society" than others mentioned in previous reviews. Music is always a terrific reliever of tension. I would like to think that justice was done, if this is, indeed, a true story. There are ugly moments throughout, and a few glorious moments that can make a simple mind like mine think that perfection could really happen, under the circumstances. ... Read More

Ever since I saw this film a Foreign Language Teaching Conference, I knew I had to have it...it is one of the few Frech films I have seen that is both clean enough to show in a public school (I do skip both of the dirty ditties) and yet interesting to the students. I love it. It just goes to show that not all foreign films (French films in particular) are harsh, ironic, and tragic. Some are charming and filled with glorious music. Can't wait to buy the soundtrack too.

I first saw it at a retreat for teachers, and think it will warm your heart even if you do not teach kids. Beautiful music. Hard to see subtitles if you have a small screen.
