5.0 out of 5 stars Alys est une vrai légende!, Nov 14 2006

C. Lafontaine "Markyoloup" (Rouyn-Noranda, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bittersweet Memories / Ma Vie en Cinemascope (Original French Version with English Subtitles) (DVD)

Ce que j'ai adorer dans ce film c'est toute l'ambiance et le décor qui ma beaucoup plus dans ce film, une vraie réussite pour recéer l'atmosphère des années quarante. Je tire mon chapeau à Denise Filiatrault, qui nous faire ouvrir les yeux qu'Alys Robi restera pour toujours une vrai légende Canadienne.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a French Canadian Bio Pic, April 1 2007

By Pierre J. Gregoire "Reference Librarian" - Published on Amazon.com

If you've had your fill of Hollywood biographical films with more emphasis on the actor playing the role than the subject of the bio - this film is a cure. Pascale Bussières gives a stunning performance reaching far beyond her usual, beautiful, subtlety. So "Chica Chica Boom" isn't just a book for kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Pascale Bussieres fans, Aug 25 2011

By terry - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Although being a Pascale Bussieres fan is a really good way to maximize the excellence of this superb film.
For the true PB fan, I would also recommend the CD of the soundtrack. Not only will you get to hear what a fine singer she is, you will also appreciate more how the music meshes with the movie, for example when Alys sings 'Amour' to her cherished little brother from the stage in Montreal. Being a non-French speaker, you might get distracted by the English subtitles during this scene. Listening to it in your car on the way to work, as the French words take shape in your brain, you will better understand why this particular song was chosen for this scene, and just how perfect it is.

But back to the movie--great acting, great music, great singing and dancing by Pascale Bussieres, and great costumes. She has never looked more fabulous.
