Then, what is “Dalida”, the biopic of the singer signed Lisa Azuelos ? – LCI

WE LIKE “LOL” and “you’re beautiful !”, the director Lisa Azuelos traces the life of Dalida in a biopic of the same name, in theaters this Wednesday. A feature film, touching and visually compelling that back with care on the highlights of the life of the diva.

“life for me is unbearable. Forgive me.” Before giving the death by overdose of barbiturates in her home in Montmartre, on the night of 2 to 3 may 1987, the singer Dalida let this word tearing to the likely attention of his audience. Finding lapidary of a flower that refused the fanaison, a diva grandiose also shot lasers what dramas intimate, of love thwarted and maternity unstoppable. A message of grievous, who takes the place of a cornerstone to this biopic of Lisa Azuelos, which wanted to, in a gesture of rehabilitation hagiographical, explain and excuse this output stage.

To do this, the director of As you there are beautiful is so attached to tell a detailed and picked up the whole trajectory of its subject. This is what it means to appreciate, understand and capture each of the decisions of the singer. Although school and illustrative, without being embodied, his direction accompanied by Dalida with the application in all the crucial stages of his life : from his birth in Cairo in 1933 to his last days of spleen through his first Olympia in 1956. A portrait in which the life and death, joy and sorrow, huge huchent of a sidewalk on the other of destiny.

on the screen, the Italian actress Sveva Alviti is not satisfied only to run at full throttle valves of the mimicry. If the makeup, hair and costumes, all spotless, and assist him in his work, he is grateful to have reached, thanks to a talent-monster, to this famous supplement of soul which characterized the great interpretations. It is she who dwells in the movie and that makes it so moving in its musical moments as in moments more private. It must be said that the road tumultuous borrowed by Dalida, to his chagrin, he was offered a material film and drama absolutely dizzying.

in addition, beyond the fraternal relationship that bound the singer to her brother Orlando, it is on the side of love stories that Lisa Azuelos has a lot dug. There was the singer Luigi Tenco, Lucien Morisse, the boss of the radio Europe n°1 or Richard Chanfray, dit le Comte de Saint-Germain… men that Dalida has loved passionately, and whose words and actions have shaped the melancholy throbbing of his music. We will say : it has certainly been given to see biopics more confident, more visceral. But this Dalida has the double merit to entertain and touch hearts. While giving the mad desire to dive back into the rich repertoire of the performer”He had just turned 18 years”.
