In 1967, French songwriter Jacques Revaux penned a love ballad with English lyrics called “For Me.” No one wanted it. He went to London to record a demo with a 17-year-old David Bowie (before he was David Bowie). Then, French singer Claude Fran\u00e7ois rewrote the lyrics in French and recorded the tune as “Comme d’habitude.” But it wasn’t until crooner Paul Anka heard the song, bought the rights and rewrote the lyrics, yet again, that it became “My Way.” Then, Frank Sinatra recorded it… and the rest, as they say, is history. Thierry Teston<\/strong> and Lisa Azuelos<\/strong> take us on a journey over the course of that meandering history, from 1967 to the present, recounting, deconstructing and paying homage to a tune that has been recorded 1,278 times by 714 artists in 163 languages, and is the number one most requested song in karaoke bars worldwide.<\/p>\n

Thierry Teston<\/strong> has directed numerous music videos, as well as the occasional TV series episode. He co-directed the documentaries PAN! Our Music Odyssey<\/em> (2014) and One, Two, Three, Nawell Madani<\/em> (2019), and directed the TV movie L’\u00e2ge d’or du rap fran\u00e7ais<\/em> (2016) and the TV special Kery James au Z\u00e9nith de Paris<\/em> (2017). Teston first collaborated with Lisa Azuelos<\/strong> on the screenplay for her 2019 feature Sweetheart<\/em>, which won the Grand Prix and the Best Acting Award at the Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival. Azuelos has co-written and directed a dozen features, including her breakout hit LOL (Laughing Out Loud)<\/em> (2008) and its American remake LOL<\/em> (2012), Quantum Love<\/em> (COLCOA 2014), Dalida<\/em> (COLCOA 2017), Lost in the Disco<\/em> (2020), I Love America<\/em> (2022), and The Book of Wonders<\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/my-way.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
