LA VIE EN ROSE (La Môme)

With Marion Cotillard, Sylvie Testud, Emmanuelle Seigner, Gérard Depardieu, Pascal Greggory, Clotilde Courau

Directed by Olivier Dahan

Many believe the French to be bombastic, egotistical boozers. Well, once you’ve seen this incredible biopic on the life of legendary singer Edith Piaf, you’ll probably feel your suspicions had been confirmed! Yet, there are so many great things that came from France (Piaf being just one of them), that stereotypes should be discarded. Cotillard’s award-winning performance of Piaf’s extremely tough road to fame makes that of Johnny Cash look like afternoon tea – she didn’t walk the line, she crawled it!
