Review of La Vie en Rose (2007) by Tans D — 26 Jun 2009
What on earth was I thinking? Upon first watch, I HATED this movie. I never understood what everybody thought was so great. However, I decided to give this film one more chance and I was completely blown away!! Terrific plot, pacing, costumes, acting, direction.
Also, the make-up was astonishing. It's hard to believe that that's Marion Cotillard under all of that make-up since she is so pretty. Now onto the best part: MARION COTILLARD! I think I'm in love.
She ranks among Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice), Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry), Elizabeth Taylor (Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf), and Charlize Theron (Monster) as one of the greatest female performances ever.
I must say that the scene where she finds out about Marcel's plane crash is probably the single best piece of acting I've seen in any film. Without her, this movie would not have been as great.
