I saw "La Vie en Rose" tonight.
If the AFI is going to make a list of the best musical bio pics, this one should be on it. Marion Cotillard is wonderful as Edith Piaf. A beautiful and touching film that really filled in the blanks for me, as a casual fan.
At one point in the film, Edith has a chance encounter with Marlene Dietrich when they are both living in New York. Dietrich effuses that Piaf was simply the soul of Paris, and made her feel as if she were there - though thousands of miles away.
That's how the film made me feel at times. And Edith Piaf is the soul and the sound of Paree.
A salut, Not Afraid and €uroMeinke ... and mon amour, monsieur izak.
