When it was released in 2004, the film Les Choristes became a real cultural phenomenon and a great French success. France 2 is rebroadcasting it this Sunday, February 12 at 9:10 p.m.
In 2004, The chorists has established itself as a cultural phenomenon, achieving the skilful marriage between popular success (it achieved 8.5 million admissions in France) and critical approval (8 César nominations and 2 Oscars). France 2 is rebroadcasting this dramatic film this Sunday, February 12 at 9:10 p.m., and will certainly make generations of viewers want to sing the songs that have become classics, from “Vois sur ton chemin” to “Caresse sur l’océan”.
Above all, Les Choristes has revealed a new generation of young actors, now in their thirties. Morhange, Pépinot… In 2004, these names were on everyone’s lips. But since the release of the film at 19, what have they become? Jean Baptiste Maunierthe interpreter of the rebellious but talented Morhange is the one who has remained the most publicized, regularly participating in the spectacle of Motherfuckers but also to other films, such as Le Grand Meaulnes or Hellphone. Now 32, the one who became a dad in 2019 recently participated in season 11 of Dancing with the stars and will soon be in the cast of Tomorrow belongs to us.
The adorable Pepinot of the Choristers was embodied by Maxence Perrinson of Jacques Perrin. He has since pursued an acting career, appearing in Faubourg 36, Between winds and tides or A son. The young man, now 27, has been more discreet since. Gregory Gatignol (34 years old today) embodies the character of Mondain and has pursued a film career in several projects, such as La Rafle, The New War of the Buttons or even The Great Game and A People and Its King. We saw it recently in the Laëtitia series in 2020. More discreet, Thomas Blumenthalwho played Corbin, has also appeared in a few projects since Les Choristes, such as La Crème de la crème (2014). Cyril Bernicot (Le Querrec in Les Choristes) and Simon Fargeot (Boniface) have not pursued a career in film or television and are more discreet.
