A huge hit in its native France, this Oscar-nominated story
of tough kids in a sink school in the France of 1949 has
all the impact of its predecessors in the genre, such as
Les quatre cents coups, Goodbye Mr Chips and Dead Poets
Society.
The arrival of M. Mathieu (Gérard Jugnot), armed
only with his musical compositions, would seem to hold out
little hope of impacting on the hardened early teen-aged
criminals who conduct a secret war with their corrupt and
vicious headmaster. There's plenty of tension, emotion,
humour and music to please most tastes in this eminently
entertaining movie.
"Wit, warmth and gusto"

Doesn't it remind you of the lad in Truffaut's 400 coups? What was his name again? by RodI was most impressed by the film The Chorus but very uncomfortable watching it because of the continuous whistling noise I presume came from somebodies hearing aid and/or the Loop system of Hearing aid help by AnonymousSorry about the whistling noise - almost certainly a hearing aid. If it happens again, please just tap him/her on the shoulder... by Rod
