Edith Piaf is probably not a very wellknown name to young people. But for many of us, who have been around a little longer, her songs are unforgettable. Piaf - like so many other stars - had a difficult life, with more than enough of trouble and hardships. The story of Piaf´s tragic life is the subject of the talented French director Olivier Dahan´s film "La Vien En Rose". If you have not seen the film yet, I urge you to see it. Below are a couple of links with a great number of wonderful reviews, so I will only say that Marion Cotillard in the title role is truly amazing. No wonder she won an Oscar for the role. One of the best new films that I have seen in many years!
La Vie on Rose on IMDb and Amazon.
Here you can watch the film trailer. (The film fortunately uses the voice of the real Piaf in the songs).
