La Vie en Rose

[winforlife]

I just saw the movie, Black Book-interesting flick. The coming attractions showed La Vie en Rose out in theaters June 8th in the US-looks like a good movie! Has anyone seen it in Europe or saw it at the IFC flim festival in NYC? If so, any comments?

 

Here's a clip of the movie: http://www.edithpiafmovie.com/

I think there's already a topic about that! Here it was called LA MÔME!

I saw it, and loved it! It's really amazing!

Marion Cotillard is an AMAZING actress.

 

When I went out of the movie theatre after watching this film I felt weird, because the atmosphere is so heavy! It's really moving!

Edith Piaf had an extraodinary life. That was really interesting to see it.

Especially because of her passionate love story with the boxer Marcel Cerdan.

I did a search and nothing came back. Perhaps it was mentioned in a topic about Céline

 

La Mome is an interesting title for the movie! I grew up listening to Edith Piaf and saw the play, Piaf on Broadway in the 80's. Yes, Marion Cotillard got rave reviews for her performance. Piaf was so talented,but like Judy Garland and other great singers had a tragic ending. I can't wait to see the movie!

 

Thanks for the response

I recently saw this new French movie called "La Vie En Rose" that depicts the life of the famous French singer

Edith Piaf. I thought this was a great movie, although a little depressing.I forgot the name of the actress who played the role but she was great. She definitely deserves one of those gold Hollywood movie statue things for this portrayal. If you can't see it in the theater, I'm sure it will be on DVD soon.

As soon as 'non, je ne regrette rien' started playing at the end, though...

Yeah I did see this movie when it was released, and I was really touched by Edith's story.

She had an incredible life. But at the same time, so sad...

Thanks Nelemy for your post

 

This evening after Le Journal, La Vie en Rose and the music on cd was advertised.

Hopefully Marion Cotillard will win an award of her portrayal of Piaf.

Marion Cotillard was amazing in this film. i was hoping she would get the oscar! this was a good fil alright. never knew that woman had had such a troubled life.

[VintageCeline]

I agree, I might even put it on before I go to bed in a mo...!

 

I didn'nt know who Edith Piaf was before watching it, But now I am fascinated everytime I watch the film.

 

There a some interviews with Piaf herself on youtube, and some clips of her singing. Now that I've seen the film, and a tiny insight into her life, you kinda of see how troubled she was during the performances.

 

Marion Cotillard did an amazing job in the film, In the extra parts of the DVD you see the transfomation from Cotillard to Piaf, It looked like such hard work, but it definatly paid off in the end.

 

I would probably say this is by far of of my favourite films, Edith Piaf was mighty talented!

This movie is one of my favourite movies. It's very dramatic.

I also like Piaf very much. She must have been the greatest singer of her time, she loved loving and singing about it.
