Magnificent Destruction
This unforgettable movie may delight you and frustrate you in equal measure. The story is told in a chaotic jumble of scenes that do not really fit together very well. Unless you are completely familiar with the biographical details of Edith Piaf's life, you will often not understand what is happening on screen. However, chances are you will be fascinated by what you see, and that is the most important thing.
Marion Cotillard won many awards for her potrayal of Edith Piaf and she deserved them all. The portrait that she presents of the "French Judy Garland" will remain with you forever.
If you are a fan of biopics then this should be a must-see. Very possibly, though, once you have viewed "La Vie En Rose" you may want to go out and read a book that will fill in the historical gaps that are to be found in the film. Then you will truly come to know the great Edith Piaf.
Bravo, Miss Cotillard
Marion Cotillard won a best actress Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Piaf and no one in recent memory has deserved it more. She's simply fantastic. With all the long reviews, I won't waste your time with plot summaries or the superlatives this movie truly deserves. As stated in other reviews, this movie will drain you emotionally. But it's a nice kind of drain.
In French with English subtitles.
Highly recommended for all adults. This is not a kids movie and only emotionally mature teenagers will sit through it. This is a truly great film.
excellent flick
I enjoyed this movie very much. It is well written and visually perfect. If you know of this "deva" (Edith Piaf) and enjoy her music you will certainly enjoy her story!
Great movie!
La Vie en Rose is a wonderful movie. It is no wonder Marion Cotillard won an academy award for her absolutely enthralling portrayal of Edith Piaf.
A wonderful movie about the life story of Edith Piaf
Edith Piaf, a very talented singer, went through many stages in her life to reach fame and an artistic prosperity.
She had a very difficult life. Her parents abandoned her when she was a child. Lived with her grandmother who ran a prostition network. Had to live and sing in the streets in order to make some money. Was abused by those who wanted to take advantage of her singing talent in order to make some money. Deeply fell in love with a married man, who later died in a plane, which deeply broke her heart. Suffered from liver cancer that finally caused her death.
In this movie we all really relate to Edith. We admire so much her passion for singing. We feel pity for her because of all the suffering she went through in her life. Even after she got famous and rich, she still wasn't happy.
Her song "Non je ne regrette rien" reflets her life and how she feels about it.
Wonderful movie. Marion Cotillard did a great job playing the role of Edith Piaf.
