"La Vie en Rose" by Olivier Dahan. French with English subtitles.
A review by Diane Spodarek

The film "La Vie en Rose" is about France's most well-known nightclub singer, Edith Piaf, the Little Sparrow. Piaf was only forty-seven years old when she died in 1963. Marian Cotillard, a beautiful and versatile actor captures Piaf's genius, gestures and her drugged and drunken life. Olivier Dahan wrote and directed the film matching the unique sound of Piaf's voice with brilliant cinematography lush with detail and colors that make you feel as if you are plunged into a deep womb. The film is beautiful, a sensory experience about love and music that arouses laughter and tears.
