The Choral
|
In war-torn Yorkshire in 1916, the local choir faces extinction after almost all the men have left for the front. Determined to carry on, the Choral Society’s committee is forced to recruit its singers from the village boys — teenagers who themselves are on the verge of being called up for military service.
At the same time, a new conductor must be appointed. The choice falls on Dr Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), a driven and uncompromising musician who has recently returned from Germany. Under Guthrie’s strict yet passionate leadership, the boys discover the power of singing together: camaraderie, comfort and a glimmer of hope in a time dominated by loss and uncertainty.
The Choral is a warm and nostalgic drama directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Nicholas Hytner, known for The Lady in the Van, The History Boys and The Madness of King George. The beautifully written screenplay is by the equally acclaimed British writer Alan Bennett and marks their fourth collaboration. The film is carried by outstanding performances, with an impressive leading role from Ralph Fiennes as the reluctant choirmaster Dr Guthrie, known for Conclave, Schindler’s List and The Grand Budapest Hotel. The Choral had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
