La vie en rose (2007)

£0.00

(La môme)


Country: FR/CZ/GB
Technical: col/Super 35 140m
Director: Olivier Dahan
Cast: Marion Cotillard, Sylvie Testud, Pascal Greggory, Emmanuelle Seigner, Gérard Depardieu

Synopsis:

The assorted dramatic events of Edith Piaf's life are recollected pell mell from the perspective of her retirement in Grasse, an invalid crippled by drug abuse.

Review:

An exhilarating fantasia-like hodge podge of a biopic, not as impossible to follow as some carped, and a welcome relief from the by-numbers chronological variety. The acting honours go to Cotillard, naturally, who is a mesmerising incarnation of the legend rather than a mere impersonation, but technical credits are everywhere very fine indeed. Truly an instance where France has trumped Hollywood at a very American form.
