The Chorus 4K 2004

The actors' performances are magnificent. All of them. The adults work with the utmost dedication, regardless of the scale of their roles. And the children. It's incredible! A dozen and a half unique characters, different, vivid, expressive. Alive.

However, they are all overshadowed by the performance of a young man with the telling name Jean-Baptiste Maunier. There is no doubt that his parents deliberately chose this name for their son because of its similarity to the surname Molière (Maunier – Molière). Fortunately, in this case, the principle of “as you name the boat, so it will sail” proved to be a winning one.

The boy is a prodigy. Not only does he give an enchanting performance, but he also sings! And how he sings! He has a beautiful voice. His performance is of the highest international standard. In short, the boy has good prospects for a successful career in the arts.

Despite its depth and seriousness, the film is lively and interesting thanks to its clever script and skillful direction. The script has a complex structure, so that the depth of some of the early scenes can only be fully appreciated in the film's finale. The director's precise work has resulted in a successful film!
