DVD Review: Les Choristes - The Chorus

I just watched this movie a few days ago. Clement Matthieu, played by Gerard Jugnot, comes to a post World War II rehabilation-boarding school for boys in France. His new job is as teacher and supervisor, he manages the dormitory and the boys after school. The school is run by Prinicipal Rachin, whose draconian measures are terrifying yet uneffective. Matthieu learns and emphatises more with boys and eventually organises a choral group. And this choral group becomes the vehicle that slowly affects all the denizens of the repressive reform school. The transfer of the film to DVD is clear as crystal. However, the dvd offers little in terms of special features. Fortunately, the movie itself is a delight to watch on a lazy saturday afternoon.

Puwede mong i-try yung service ng Parconline (http://www.parconline.biz/phpBB2/login.php?redirect=privmsg.php&folder=inbox&mode=read&p=2894) medyo may kamahalan pero at least COD and delivered pa sa bahay mo. Or puede ka rin mag-scout sa Pinoy DVD (http://www.pinoydvd.com/content/) a friend of mine got his movies from a guy whose call name was Iverson, I think. Korean DVDs more cheaper pero you have to be careful when selecting some are video transfers or heavily edited. Also there are copies floating about nearby Carlos Palanca.
