Browsing for the recently added films on Neflix, I stumble upon Cloclo. It immediately got my attention. But, a biopic about an artist I don't even know? And that artist is french? And the movie is in FRENCH??? Sometimes, the universe makes decisions for you that you don't quite understand, but know for a fact you have to. This was one of those. Cloclo is, to quote Netflix, a biopic that "traces the tumultuous life of pop superstar Claude François, from his early years and meteoric rise to his tragic death." This movie is absolutely amazing! The tour de force performance by Jérémie Renier, the locations, the storytelling, the musical montages. Powerful and electric! Then I understood why this movie called upon me. Claude François is the writer and composer of the french song Comme d'habitude, which would later be recorded in an English version by Frank Sinatra for his world hit, My Way. Some things come on their own. Others, we search for. Regardless of the way they arrive, it's all about the way we cherish those moments that will linger forever in our hearts.

I saw this in Paris, last year. I didn't understand what they were saying but I could understand the story line and what was happening. I truly enjoyed it. I can't wait till it becomes available for sale.

Excellent biopic sur la vie de ce génie que fût Claude François. Siri maîtrise son sujet et offre 2 ou 3 plan-séquences très sympas. Je ne m'étendrai pas sur la perf de Jérémie Renier qui est juste bluffante. Il aurait mérité le César d'ailleurs. Lui.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Jrmie Renier is magnetic in the title role: energetic, infuriating, and oddly creepy.

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Too generously scaled at 148 minutes, but pulled off with consistent high style by director Florent-Emilio Siri, and ultimately quite moving.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

This biopic of French singer Claude Franois almost summons the grandeur of a Scorsese personality opera.

Rated: 3/5

Total Film

Dardenne brothers favourite Jrmie Renier is uncannily good as the tightly wound star, as well as a dead ringer for him.
