…
Gérard Depardieu finds new career tricks by showing off his vocal skills as a dance hall singer in an affecting story that paints a nostalgic picture of a 20-year craft threatened by the onslaught of DJs and karaoke bars. He plays aging entertainer Alain Moreau, who wins the hearts of pensioners, middle-aged ladies and their ilk with heart-rending songs he performs at village discos, homes for the elderly and even the local frog festival.
Moreau sings lines such as “I would do all for a flirt with you” and “Live your life to the fullest!” – then goes home to his empty house, where a juke box, a goat and a self-tanning machine are his only companions.
Enter the cool and attractive Marion (Cécile de France) as an energetic estate agent and single mother who falls in love with him, starts to change his life, and gently mocks his profession while trying to resist his charms – but not for long.
A simple story, beautifully told and acted, When I was a Singer is a highly anticipated French romantic comedy.
謝勒．狄帕度為他的演藝事業再創高峰，這一次他大展歌喉，演繹一名在夜總會演唱已有廿多年經驗的歌手，但他的歌唱生涯卻正面臨被時下流行的 DJ 吧及卡啦 OK 吧取代的危機。片中他飾演年華漸老的藝人阿倫，他經常在鄉村的士高、區內的老人院和節日慶典中唱歌助慶，他那些溫馨熱情的歌曲極受村內的長者及中年太太們的歡迎。
每當演唱完畢，阿倫回到空洞的家中卻只有一台點唱機，一隻山羊和一部日光機與他為伴。
然而，冷靜又迷人的地產經紀馬希容（薛西．特法蘭絲飾）的出現卻令他的生命產生改變。馬希容是一名單親母親，開始的時候她經常取笑他的職業，但同時又嘗試抗拒他迷人的魅力，但最終還是愛上了他。
本片故事情節簡單但敘事和演繹手法極之優美感人，《我當歌手的日子》是一部備受重視的法國浪漫喜劇。
本片的編劇兼導演米高歌治是一位創意無限的創作人，他的電影《無痛失戀》、音樂和廣告創作曾贏取多個獎項。
