Katia aznavour biography of william

PARIS — October 2024 marked the centenary of Charles Aznavour, iconic French-Armenian singer-songwriter who passed away at 94 in 2018. To honor his legacy, a new biopic, “Monsieur Aznavour,” was released in theaters in October, celebrating the extraordinary life of one of France’s most beloved cultural figures.

The Pathé Opéra cinema was buzzing with excitement on October 23, the film’s release date. Tickets sold out quickly, and just 20 minutes before the screening, only six seats remained—on the front row. “Not ideal for our necks, but we don’t care. We are going,” joked Elisa Samourcachian, 24, who attended with her friend Tina. The two French-Armenian girls were among the few who fully understood the film’s opening scene, where Aznavour’s parents converse in Armenian. “It was emotional to hear Armenian in such a large, packed theater,” Tina shared.

For once, an Armenian story graced the French Katia Aznavour, fille de Charles... - Aznavour Foundation.
