«Shine», 1996
Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actor — Geoffrey Rush

The dramatic career of Helfgott, who survived his father's despotism in childhood and contracted a serious illness, was brought to the screen by director Scott Hicks.

«La Vie en Rose», 2007
Oscar for Best Actress — Marion Cotillard
A kaleidoscopic story of the famous French singer Edith Piaf, covering the main years of her life and musical career. Childhood, ascent to the musical Olympus, personal tragedy, status as a global icon — she experienced all this on screen, for which she was awarded a golden statuette in 2008.
Initially, «Annette» was a new album by the band Sparks, and then Leos Carax turned this idea into a crazy musical.

Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress — Cate Blanchett
A transcendent, enigmatic biopic about singer, artist, and writer Bob Dylan. The directorial project of Californian Todd Haynes initially did not involve linear storytelling or a standard account of the career of one of the most influential musicians on the planet. The film is divided into chapters, where the role of Dylan is played by different actors: Richard Gere, Cate Blanchett, the late Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, and Ben Whishaw, — each representing a specific stage of the musician's career.
Such a bold experiment did not go unnoticed, and the film was awarded three statuettes at the Venice Film Festival, and Cate Blanchett even won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar, but ultimately lost to , who took the statuette for the film «Michael Clayton» .
We tell you what to expect from the film «Memoria», the new work of Cannes Film Festival laureate Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
Open material«Ray», 2004
Oscar for Best Actor — Jamie Foxx
A very detailed, two-hour biopic about one of the most recognizable performers of rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, and soul — Ray Charles , whose role was played by the previously little-known actor . It was after «Ray» that Foxx's career rapidly took off.
«Project Power» could have been a new hit for Netflix if it had been a good film.
Open materialThe film meticulously recreates on screen the story of Ray Charles's rise, starting from the musician's childhood, blindness due to a serious illness, first recordings, complex relationships with loved ones, and ending with the writing and performance of the artist's main hits. An excellent musical film showcasing the incredible drive and aesthetics of the 50s and 60s of the last century.
«The Doors», 1991
MTV Award Nomination — Val Kilmer
This musical biopic made it into our list intentionally, although the lead actor in the film went without awards. Without The Doors it is generally very difficult to imagine any TOP on a musical-cinematic theme, because Val Kilmer brilliantly performed the role of the «Lizard King» Jim Morrison, the band's frontman. Kilmer literally transformed into the singer and performed the band's songs so well that the other band members could not always tell where Val was singing and where Morrison was. Oliver Stone's film turned out mystical, viscous, overflowing with negative energy, but at the same time very attractive.
