¡¡¡¡¡°The Chorus¡± is a movie you have seen many times before. Cute, well-acted and utterly predictable, Christophe Barratier's feature debut delivers just what the advertising promises: a musician who has given up on fame takes a job as supervisor at a school for hard cases, and when he teaches the boys how to sing, they mellow out and begin to love him dearly.

¡¡¡¡Fond d'Etang, the name of the school run with iron fist by the stern Rachin (Francois Berleand), translates as "Rock Bottom,¡± but round-faced Clement (Gerard Jugnot) holds on to his good cheer. His cuddly exterior betrays a warm intelligence--apparently he knows that he is in the kind of movie where a little art will certainly tame the teenage beasts, and so he sorts the boys by their voices and starts a choir.

¡¡¡¡All the necessary types are present in the classroom: the cute small kid, the brazen thieves and hormone-addled thugs, and of course the surprisingly talented teacher's pet (Jean-Baptiste Maunier), from whose adult perspective the story is told. In the opening scene, we learn that he ends up in New York City as one of the "greatest conductors in the world"--just to make sure that everybody knows right away that this story has a happy end.

¡¡¡¡Forgive me if I sound cynical. "The Chorus" is told with skill and charm, and if you like to hear golden teenage sopranos, you will love the music. If you're in the mood to be uplifted in all the usual heartwarming ways--"Mr. Holland's Opus," "Dead Poets' Society," "Billy Elliot" and scores of similar films come to mind--"The Chorus" will not disappoint you. Disappointing, however, is that Barratier didn't pick a fresher subject for his first film, disappointing, also, that out of all the unique and innovative films that came out of France last year, this formulaic and obvious movie was picked to represent the country at the Academy Awards.

¡¡¡¡Delightful, uplifting, beautifully acted film that fully deserved its Oscar nominations for both Best Foreign Film and Best Original Song.

¡¡¡¡The Background

¡¡¡¡Christophe Barratier¡¯s The Chorus (Les Choristes) was an unexpectedly huge hit in France, to the point where it has reportedly reawakened a national interest in boys¡¯ choirs. It¡¯s doubtful that its influence on British audiences will be quite so profound, but it¡¯s a hugely enjoyable film that plays like Le Societe de les Poets Morts meets L¡¯Opus de Monsieur Holland.

¡¡¡¡The film was deservedly nominated for two Oscars (for Best Foreign Film and Best Original Song) and although it lost out on both awards, it did at least provide le grande spectacle of Beyonc¨¦ Knowles singing the main song at the Oscars, in French. Ooh, and indeed, la la.

¡¡¡¡The Story

¡¡¡¡Based on an obscure 1945 French film, La Cage Aux Rossignols (A Cage of Nightingales), The Chorus is predominantly set in 1949. However, the film begins in the present day when a famous conductor, Pierre (Jacques Perrin) is visited by an old schoolmate, Pepinot (Didier Flamand) and together they relive the arrival at their reform school of new teacher Clement Mathieu (G¨¦rard Jugnot).
