Went to the pictures with Mon tonight, to watch "La vie en rose".
It is a fantastic film, telling the controversial lifestory of Edith Piaf, obviously.
But what impressed me was the absolutely superb act of Marion Cotillard. It is almost obscene if this talented actress doesn't win all the possible awards for best actress this year.
Brilliant transformation, terrific acting, particularly when she played the older Piaf. Her pain, her loss came through exquisitely
It's a shame this film is not getting the attention of the media, as it should. Because it's French, not American....sad...
And for me the highlight was toward the end when Piaf sings NON,JE NE REGRETTE RIEN (NO REGRETS). The song written for Piaf is a summation of the film and her life. I actually had tears on my face.
Highly recommend!

It was very shocking, even I almost cried. xxx
