The Singer
Bringing together one of the most distinguished and prolific actors in French cinema with one of its most luminous and vibrant young female talents, The Singer tells the story of a faded, middle-aged dance hall vocalist who falls for a beautiful but troubled woman half his age.
Gerard Depardieu – in the role acclaimed as his best since Cyrano De Bergerac – and Cecile de France (From Russian Dolls) star with great chemistry in this tender and poignant love story that's wonderfully acted, beautifully told and never hits a false note.

Critic Reviews:
- " Giannoli's film is as bitter as it is sweet and paints the scene with masterly precision, even if the usual comforting ending is at odds with what has gone before. " – Derek Malcolm
- " An interesting and unusual love story. " – Steve Watson
- " The prodigally productive Depardieu turns in a perfectly inflected performance, full of grace and skill and with none of the curdled cynicism a lesser actor would have brought to the role. " – Peter Calder
