Take Me AwayMusic by Charles AznavourLyrics by Charles AznavourPerformed by Charles Aznavour
A moving interpretation of the bond between two brothers at opposite ends of the social spectrum, of what it means to fulfill a life, and of the consequences of individual parental decisions on the destiny of a child.
What could have been “just” a sad drama escapes this trap
The screenplay manages to mix funny dialogues, unexpected situations and serious moments.
With a quality cast, B Lavernhe and P Lottin succeed in bringing to life the bond and tension between a renowned director and an amateur member of a brass band
The narration and the quality of the actors of E Courcol, M Tomersy, O Bonduel, I Muscari and K Amara make it one of the great films I have seen this year.
