Les Choristes, what a fantastic movie! If you haven't seen it, watch it, soon. Basically, this French movie is about a year-round boarding school, called Fond de l’étang (bottom of the pond) for troublemaking boys and the ups and downs of one specific year. We are introduced to some characters in the first part of the movie, including Mr. Rachin, the bitter headmaster, Mr. Maxence, the janitor, and Mr. or Clement Mathieu. Soon we find that there are some trouble makers, some good students, and some thieves.
The story takes a strange turn when Mr. Mathieu creates a choir with these adolescents and strangely enough, a brilliant soloist emerges. The school of about forty children become extremely enthused with the choir and the rest of the story is very heart-warming and it is fill of twists and turns. Overall, I would give this movie a nine out of ten because it always had be watching, even thought it was in French, which is very surprising.
