Strong and moving a tribute to the 100th anniversary of Charles Aznavour. The wonderful historical reconstruction takes us to the exciting and saturated atmosphere of Paris in the fifties of the 20th century, to the time of great hopes, when even the air is filled with music, freedom and a dizzying feeling of carefree happiness.
Let Aznavour himself tell about it:
,Bohemia, bohemia! I will tell you about times unknown to those under twenty.
In Montmartre at that time the lilacs were blooming right under our windows. This means - we are twenty and we are happy! We lived in the spirit of our time!
Bohemian, bohemian… We were young, we were crazy...”
If you want to drink a glass of red wine in the company of the intellectual cultural elite, then you should go to the famous Café de Flore in bourgeois Saint-Germain-des-Prés, but to join a real bohemian, to enjoy the tempting night life, you will have to cross the whole of Paris! Because the musical heart of the city, the cradle of the French chanson - these are the Montmartre cabarets, tempting with bright lights.
Knowing Parisians gather here in the evenings to listen to the singing of the melancholic introvert Jacques Brel, the genius hooligan Serge Gainsbourg or the ironic heartbreaker Yves Montand. The tables are close to each other, more and more people start to gather towards the evening, and there is a chance to sit very close to celebrities, who are not few here. Jean-Paul Belmondo and Francois Truffaut, Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf, Jean Gabin and Lino Venturo used to drop in here - by now each of these names has already become a legend.
,I am talking about a time that those who have twenty more, you may not even know..."
We are happy to dive into this wonderful era, where moving songs performed by Aznavour himself sound. However, these are not all simple events related to the Artist's path to world fame, but rather a story about the life of an entire generation, about the 20th century. 40-60 years of French life, about music and poetry, about love.
His complicated relationship with Edith Piaf, extravagant friends and charming women, failures and doubts, guest performances, attempts until exhaustion and well-deserved triumph.
Passionate, gentle, fragile and unshakable, faithful to his art to the very end, unashamedly enjoying life and making everyone cry with this love - one one of the most outstanding singers of his time: MESSI AZNAVÚRS.
