La Môme (2007)
(La Vie en Rose)
In French with English Subtitles.
A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, La vie en Rose stars Marion Cotillard as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf. From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, Piaf's life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Born into poverty, Piaf was abandoned by her mother. While singing for pennies on street corners, she attracted the attention of Louis Leplée, owner of one of the most posh nightclubs in town. He persuaded her to sing and gave her the nickname "la Môme Piaf" because of her short height and nervousness. Dead at forty-seven. Piaf remains, however, one of France's immortal icons, her voice one of the indelible signatures of the 20th Century.
