"La vie en rose" (2007) is a beautiful biographical film about Edith Piaf, directed by Olivier Dahan. Piaf is an iconic French singer who turned into a symbol of her country, and remains one many decades after her death.
If you are one of Piaf's fans, I'm certain that you will like this movie, because it depicts strikingly several moments of her tragic and turbulent life. It is impossible to denny that Marion Cotillard was the right choice to play the main character, as she is simply splendid as Edith Piaf, so good in fact that she tends to make us forget that Piaf is not longer alive.
In case you don't have the faintest idea of who Edith Piaf was, don't worry, this movie is an excellent starting point to learn about her. Of course, no film can be totally objective, but by the end of "La vie en rose" you will know some details about Piaf's life, and will have heard some of her wonderful songs.
All in all, I believe that this is a film that is powerful and worth watching, despite the fact that it is rather gut-wrenching sometimes. Recommended...

PS: The songs you will hear in this film are sang by Edith Piaf (Cotillard does lip-synching). My favourite song is "Je ne regrette rien"...

Loved this film and have been looking for it on Blu Ray (with English subtitles) for quite some time. Unfortunately this wasn't listed as an Australian encoded Blu Ray when I purchased it. I returned it for a full refund (which I received promptly) but still want to get my hands on a copy that works!!

La Vie en Rose movie
Marion Cotillard made me believe I was watching Edith Piaf herself (Based on what I read and viewed on Edith). The subtitles are especially helpful to students of French!! Read more

Not for English speakers
This is a beautiful film. I've seen it many times on DVD and was surprised that it wasn't available on Blu-ray in the United States so I ordered my copy from Amazon.ca. Read more

Great interpretation but complete downfall for the directing part
The interpretation of Marion Cotillard is amazing; she deserved that Oscar. Other than that, that is it. Read more

Powerful portrayal of Edith Piaf
This is quite a film and not a particularly joyous one, but neither was the life of Edith Piaf. The life journey of Edith Piaf was mostly new to me and if the film was true to her... Read more
