Saying there was a time (not so distant as that!) Where I doubted the talent of Abbas Kiarostami ... What a mistake! Especially since we moved Kiarostami movies whenever a simplicity and a rare subtlety: you just have to be carried away by the beautiful color photography by shooting inspired despite their destitution, by interpreters all the more endearing than the other, by the charm of the fables that the author knows so well Iranian tell us ... With "The Choir" by Kiarostami as usual with an idea that could be described as any beast: the cinematic translation of the isolation of an old man deaf to the world around him. In a sense, the only link that allows him to relate to everyday life is his hearing, he can happily remove at will when the talkative nuisance or jackhammers are too insistent. But then, to cut too much inconvenience to the life he goes to forget his own! As such "The Chorus" may very well serve as a metaphor for the ravages of age or continuing divide between generations, but there is much to take (and enjoy) in the first degree: the history and fun touching of a grandfather and his granddaughter separated by sound and space. A wonderful little gem of a delicate and beautiful harmony! [3 / 4]
