La Vie en Rose (2007)
Directed by Olivier
Dahan this film based on a true story stars Marion Cotillard, Gerard
Depardieu and Sylvie Testud. This is the story of Edith Piaf from her
youth in poverty to success as a singer and eventual health problems
and death.
It seems that mostly
this film sticks to historical events without getting involved in too
much speculation but there is a pretty obvious omission of anything
involving the singer during World War 2. The story is very much a
warts and all account told in a non-linear fashion which is slightly
confusing at times but not overly so. Clearly the best part of this
film is Marion Cotilard's Oscar winning performance in the title role
which is massively impressive and worth watching for alone.
4/5
