Les Choristes

Today I finished an AWESOME french film in french class. This is the basic story line:

Orchestra conductor Pierre Morhange returns to France when his mother dies. He reminiscences about his childhood inspirations through the pages of a diary kept by his old music teacher Clément Mathieu. His flashbacks are the main story line throughout the movie. 

In 1949, a young Pierre is the badly behaved son of single mother Violette. He attends a boarding institution, Fond de L'Etang, for 'difficult' or 'uncontrollable' boys looked after by strict headmaster Mr. Rachin. The newly elected teacher Mathieu brightens up the school and assembles a choir, leading to the discovery of Pierre's musical talents and a transformation in the children.

It is a very cute story and the music is so sweet (My friends and I were singing the theme song through fifth period, and everyone looked at us strangely). Although the ending was a little rushed, it conveyed the story well. 

It's in french, but you should all watch it! For once you'll have a use for the sub-titles. 

That is all
