Review of La Vie en Rose (2007) by Laurent P — 05 Jan 2010
Exquisite- without a doubt the masterpiece that put Marion Cotillard on the Hollywood map. Cotillard later won the Oscar for Best Actress. Well deserved.
From writer/director Olivier Dahan comes the incredible true story of Edith Piaf; a French cabaret/music-hall singer of the late 1930's. At the age of 14, she joined her father performing in the streets all over France where she first sang...
I will never be able to do justice in trying to explain more about her troubled life but you can find out all about it by watching this film or by listening to her music which was often inspired by true events of her life. Some happy but mostly confused and sad moments- all profoundly heartfelt.
I credit my mother for listening to Piaf at home- if not, I don't think I would've ever known about her inspirational life story and timeless music.
