"Les Choristes", also known as "The Choir" it's a music-based on and drama film. Its director is Cristophe Barratier. He's an actor, director and musician. He studied in the "École Normale de Musique", in Paris, where he actually lives. He is also famous because of other two films, along with "The Choir", which are "Faubourg 36" and "La Nouvelle Guerre des boutons", which I haven't seen. In "The Choir", the main actors are Jean-Baptiste Maunier as Pierre Morhange, Gérard Jugnot as Clément Mathieu, Maxence Perrin as Pépinot; which are the ones I consider more relevant. Specificly, Jean-Baptiste became very famous and well-known thanks to this show. When the choir still had a white voice, they sang in concerts. The music of the film was composed by Bruno Coulais, altough in the most well-known song, "Vois Sur Ton Chemin", the lyrics were given by Barratier.

The story is about Clément, a faded musician who starts working at an internate school, as he doesn't have nothing else to work at. Pierre Morhange is a kinda "rebel" guy that is in Clément's class. Morhange always ignores Clément, and shows as if he doesn't care about anything or anyone. Clément, as musician, starts a choir in his class without the head to know. At first it was very difficult to make it sound a bit acceptable. But, with the time, the guys improove. Pierre is never in class when they sing, because he's always punished in a room and he can't see anyone. But, in the night, he escapes that room and learn the songs the whole choir are learning. He has a privileged voice, altough he may not know it. His attitude doesn't change and he still doesn't want to sing with the choir. But, one day, Clément hears him singing and asks him to sing with the choir. And then ******** and **** (I'm not going to tell more because there's no need to spoil the film). I really recomend it, it's my favorite film.
