Just as Marion Cotillard was to La Vie en Rose, Golden Globe-nominated actor Tahar Rahim is to MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR, transforming into the iconic singer-songwriter for this lavishly entertaining rise-to-stardom biography of the man who beat all odds to not only become one of France’s best-loved entertainers, but personified French culture to the English-speaking world. Led by its star’s astonishing performance and stunning vocal prowess, Mehdi Idir and Grand Corps Malade’s emotional and lavishly-mounted film is a true tour de force as intimate as it is spectacular.
Screening 30 Apr to 28 May across Australia, the 2025 HSBC German Film Festival showcases the best in contemporary German-language cinema. Among the line-up is Opening Night Gala, David Dietl's ensemble comedy hit LONG STORY SHORT, Matthais Glasner’s multi award-winning DYING, Bernhard Wenger's sly social satire PEACOCK, Joachim A. Lang's spectacular biopic JOHN CRANKO, and the Australian Premieres of two recent Berlin Film Festival standouts: Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s provocative thriller HYSTERIA and Frédéric Hambalek's scathingly funny comedy of manners WHAT MARIELLE KNOWS.
Following extraordinary, sell-out demand at the Alliance Française French Film Festival, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO returns to cinemas. Pierre Niney leads an all-star cast in the thrilling new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' epic adventure, the first French cinematic treatment of the iconic tale of romance and redemption in over fifty years. A global phenomenon (with 12 million+ tickets sold), the film delivers luxurious big-screen entertainment and escapism, at once timeless and electrifyingly new. It's one of the Easter season's true must-sees.
