Oliver Dahan, 2007
A biopic about the French singer Edith
Piaf.
The film was written and directed by
Olivier Dahan, and starred Marion
Cotillard as Piaf.
Marion Cotillard won 7 major Best
Actress Awards for her portrayal of Édith
Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
In some shots the true voice of Marion
Cotillard is heard, but most of the time
the play-back with the voice of Edith Piaf
is used.
Biography of the famous French singer
Edith Piaf (1915-1963): her childhood, her
teenage years and her ascension to glory.
From the slums of Paris to the limelight
of New York.
 Edith Piaf's life was a struggle for
survival and love. She grew up amid
poverty but her magical voice and her
passionate romances and friendships with
the great personalities of the era made
her a global star.
Marion Cotillard portrays Piaf, the
superstar
once raised as a young girl by her
grandmother in a Normandy bordello.
 Then discovered on a French street corner -
as a complete unknown – by cabaret
proprietor Louis Leplée (Gérard Depardieu)
The film segues breezily between various
episodes from Piaf's life,
 such as her lover, French boxer Marcel
Cerdan's (Jean-Pierre Martins)her period in
Hollywood during the '50s;
In contrast the film also shows
Piaf's abandonment as a young girl by her
contortionist father (and earlier by her mother,
a street singer)
Her brushes with the law as an adult; and her car accident
and subsequent morphine addiction that caused her to age
well beyond her years and left her barely mobile; and,
through it all, her ability to funnel personal tragedy and
emotional struggles into her vocalizations -- dazzling
audiences in the process
The interpretive power of Marion in the
character of Edith.
 Soundtrack… Piaf’ songs are the reflection
of each moment of her life
The great skill of the director and the writer
of scripts to move with the speech of each of
the characters.
The passion and intensity for life, for acting
on stage.
The madness of loving what you do and give
everything in life.
