MY WAY (Cinema Francais – time to be announced)

February 8 @ 7:00 pm to approx. 9:00 pm

$15.00

My Way is much more than a song. This major score has crossed eras, borders and generations. It’s an anthem that has become part of us and a permanent part of music history. My Way is also one of the most covered songs ever, from Sid Vicious to Tom Jones, not to mention Nina Simone or Pavarotti.

However, many people are unaware that it was initially conceived in France, in Megève by J. Revaux in March 1967, and then completed in August by Jacques Revaux and Claude François by the pool at the Moulin de Dannemois during a summer afternoon in 1967. A series of fortuitous encounters and sleepless nights eventually led it across the Atlantic to the man who would make it legendary with lyrics by Paul Anka: Frank Sinatra.

Narrated by Jane Fonda, the documentary My Way delves into the captivating backstory of this legendary song and its journey to the Hall of Fame.

Featuring: Frank Sinatra, Ben Harper, Paul Anka, David Bowie, Claude François, Janelle Monaé, Jacques Revaux, Sparks

DIRECTED BY:  Thierry Teston in collaboration with Lisa Azuelos
