La Vie En Rose - A Quick Movie Review

The film La Vie en Rose is a French film made in 2007 about the life of the very famous French Pop singer Édith Piaf. Édith Piaf was a singer in the 1940s and 50s in France, but her popularity there spread throughout the world. This film, starring Marion Cotillard as the famous singer was one that one her an Academy Award, even though the movie is entirely in French.

I understand that might deter you from watching, but it truly is an amazingly acted and produced movie. The music in it is all music by Édith Piaf, and it makes the movie more interesting as her songs are intertwined with the movie itself. The title comes from the song La Vie en Rose, one of Piaf's most famous songs. The movie describes her life from childhood to her death at just age 47. 

Even if you don't speak French, it truly is a great movie! I hope you at least consider watching.
