Les Choristes

France

Standard-issue inspirational story of a humble prefect hired by a rural reform school who secretly writes music, contrives to teach choral singing to his misbegotten charges and ends up with an award-winning ensemble.

The lead was very well cast - a bald, frumpy-looking sarariman with a woebegone expression. But he was determined...so we had a story.

Competent, not more.
