[broadwaycakes]

Woah I thought I was going crazy when he changed lol....

 Rufus 

[Marklewisdes]

It's a GREAT film....not quite "Les Invasions Barbares"..but I got it from the library..watched both Quebec and Intl versions...very up-to-date and realistic..no BS period,,

[crabejoss]

Dans ce cas particulier, mapo Adopi vous monte à la tete et vous en devenez tout ridicule !

Il y a sur utube de multiples teasers officiel et officieux, ici la bande annonce du film avec une image qui n'est pas tres bonne a pour objectif assez clair (faire connaitre une musique et éventuellement un film trop confientiel)... Il me semble qu'il y a sur internet assez de vrais sujets (piraterie et autres) pour ne pas faire de procès à tous à chacun pour de petits riens...

[sebacmart]

very nice song , relaxing....

[bloodiedXangel]

Wow. Fabulous song, fabulous costume. So Rufusey (in a stately way)

But the laack of head movements... Must have been hard for him.

[rmw247]

@bloodiedXangel Funny regarding head movement, i was thinking EXACTLY the same thing when i watched it..

[dorkaN5]

WONDERFUL SONG !!!!

WONDERFUL RUFUS !!!

VERY nice clip :)))

[solredoc]

good work and great idea to write the lirycs! well done!

[mjeannette1]

Is the soundtrack from this movie, commercially available?

Or is there a recording of this aria as sung by Rufus in the movie, that is available anywhere?

I've searched but found nothing.

[octogirlpretty]

If you find anything can you tell me? I would LOVE to have this song ^^

[nooyawker]

It's an aria from Gretry's opera "Zemire et Azor". Not a lot of CD recordings are available because it is not one of those virtuoso operas by classical masters that get recorded and staged thousand times. While this is a beautiful beautiful piece laid on beautiful lyrics, its melody is rather simple. Rufus's unique voice makes it more interesting but you might not be so thrilled by a real operatic version.

[nooyawker]

... and half naked figure of Diane Kruger helps too.

[gaywil]

err what happens to rufus' face at the end ? Im confused.

Why does he turn ugly for a few seconds?

[narfee]

hahaha his name is Marc Labrèche and his a really good actor. this is from a movie in Québec, L'Age Des Ténèbre.

[gaywil]

But. Why does rufus turn into him?!?!

[adrienm]

Because the main character Marc Labrèche is imagining himself as the Prince. And then is being called back to reality. Cinematic technique, is all!

[rockfrog2]

Thanks for this!!!!!

[mapo69]

I come from Quebec....and you could be arrested for filming the movie on your DVD camera and posting this on YouTube.....what you are doing here is completely illegal!!

[quim63]

Cher/chère ami/amie:

Encore étonné pour ton commentaire...

As tu entendu parler de "publicité".. Je suis sincèrement convaincu que le "uploaded video" aide plus que abîme le film du Denys Arcand.

J'ai, donc, la conscience bien tranquille...

Sincères salutations

[mapo69]

N'empêche que ce que vous avez fait est illégal! Je ne serais pas surpris que vous ayez filmé sur votre caméra le film au complet! Ne vous en vantez pas trop!! Denys Arcand n'a pas besoin de votre publicité...enfin pas de publicité piratée!

[quim63]

Je n'ai pas filmé le film! Je l'ai trouvé dans Internet...

Concernant l'avis de Denys Arcand, vous m'avez donnée une idée: je vais le contacter pour savoir son avis et s'il n'est pas d'acord je vais enlever le video..

[mapo69]

Désolé si je vous accuse mais la personne avant vous qui a mis cet extrait sur internet....lui il l'avait filmé d'une salle de cinéma!! On entend les gens dans la salle....Je trouve déplorable que des gens fassent ça....le film est encore au cinéma et pas encore sorti en DVD!

[EutuveX]

@quim63

I agree 100% with your approach on the matter . "we, the pirates " make possible the global diffusion of the work of the authors that would otherwise, remain in the shadow.

For instance..I "discovered" only yesterday about the movie "L'age des tenebres "

I downloaded it and as soon as it started, I "discovered" and researched :

1. Du moment qu'on aime

2, Rufus Wairight

3. an Opera yet unknown "Zemir et Azor"

= I enriched myself with beautiful or interesting things = CULTURE

[Squeaky1423]

If someone had not posted this, I would not have even known this beautiful film exists...Now I can seek it out.

[phigos]

Je ne connaissais pas du tout Rufus avant d'avoir vu le film et j'ai trippé sur sa prestation dans celui-ci et me suis informé sur l'identité du chanteur et ai acheté 3 CD de Rufus depuis...

[ScotCanLiz]

PS: Isn't Rufus a marvellous (and so unique) vocalist??? If you like this, check out his "Complainte de la butte" on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. Lovely song, and also in French.

[mothberries]

and his own songs, especially the ones from his debut album

[ScotCanLiz]

Rufus to me has always seemed an okay looking guy. But when his face turned into Marc Labrèche's (the actor whose character is imagining he's a prince serenading Diane Kruger), I looonged for Rufus back! He suddenly seemed much more handsome than I'd first noticed. :P Mind you, Labrèche is a gifted actor and wonderfully funny comedian.

[sirene82]

it is a dream sequence. The main character dreams he is the ''singing Prince'', wich explains the face morphing. (Morphing with the main character)

[randomlettersand5]

This is wonderful.Rufus looks amazing in this.

[Xjpu]

meraviglioso, il film è da vedere.

[artiglio82]

ciao qualcuno sa dirmi il titolo del brano o l'album?

title of song?

quelle est le nombre de cette chanson?

[Xjpu]

ciao, purtroppo non è una canzone, o meglio non puoi trovarla in un cd prima che esca quello del film, è un'aria presa da un'opera dell'800, Zemire e Azor a quanto ho capito. Trovo che sia molto bella, come la voce del cantante.

[artiglio82]

ti ringrazio...speriamo esca presto...è davvero bellissima...teniamoci in contatto se esce sto cd

[ittiosauro]

Grazie x aver posto la domanda al posto mio... cercherò il testo in internet, e se trovo qualcosa ve lo dico!

[ittiosauro]

TROVATA!!!

André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry

Zemir et Azor

Aria N°. 13 (Ariette)

[ittiosauro]

Azor: Du moment qu on aime L'on devient si "ux. Et je suds moi­mème Plus tremblant que vous. Hé quoi! Vous craignez l'esclave timide Sur qui vous régnez! N'ayez plus de peur, La haine homicide Est loin de mon cœur Ou moment qu on aime L'on devient si doux. Et je suds moi­même Plus tremblant aue vous :)

[Xjpu]

Grazie a te! così non farfuglierò ogni volta che canticchio cercando di seguire la musica, e grazie ai registi come Arcand che ci fanno scoprire questi piccoli tesori. Vi consiglio ancora di vedere il film! Curiosità: qualcuno ha capito il motivo del litigio tra i due francesi in basso? :)

[ittiosauro]

Mi auguro tu abbia visto 'Jesus of Montreal'secondo me il suo CA-PO-LA-VO-RO

[penroyaltea]

so this is a dream sequence or something?

is he in this film much?

[quim63]

Hi penroyaltea:

I don't know. I haven't seen the movie yet.

Rufus is not the main character but I think he has a relevant supporting role

[EutuveX]

@quim63

= CULTURE..knowledge ...

I will surely share my "discoveries " with some friends and even if one of them buys the movie ( DVD ) or buys the Opera ( CD ) , I, " pirate" will have contributed "commercially" with the copyrights authors...

Not one cent in my pocket but nourishment to my cultures soul...

mapo69 can go fuck himself !

Ciao

[dedauw]

He's in this scene and one other near the end of the film.

[mariomacche]

what's the title of this chanson?

[mothberries]

Beautiful! But face morphing=very disturbing!

[kazeb2]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[LimboLinda]

eee! wonderful! BRAVO! great as always Rufus :]

[tadzio11]

I dream about being Rufus a lot.
