Review of La Vie en Rose (2007) by Enrica C — 15 Dec 2012

One of the best movie of 2007, it simply took my breath away. I did expect lots from this movie, but not this much, not really. It's a very pleasant, surprising, different, exciting, deeply emotional, stunning movie that is also able to give a great French impression. Marion Cotillard took my breath away, I think I forgot to breathe in some parts of the movie; the ending was just stunning, completed with some very unexpected revelation.

"La Vie En Rose" it's an amazing movie because it makes you love Edith Piaf, even if she's selfish and arrogant sometimes; still, thanks to this movie you can see what she's been through from her childhood to her sad death. Sad, but a very human movie. The soundtrack is gorgeous, songs are brilliantly performed by Cotillard. Clothes are perfect, and everything is taken care of till the smallest detail.

I found a little bit confusing the fact that we jump from the '50s to the '20s, and then to the '60s and then again to another decade, but I do consider that a peculiarity of the movie, and I'm sure that when I'll watch the move again everything will make more sense. A very pleasant, beautiful movie that everybody should see. Recommended.
