What our customer's say!

"McCain dazzlement", My wife and I like the singing of Edith Piaf. When the DVD of a movie about Ms. Piaf came available, we bought it.

As we watched the performance, we sat in our chairs with our mouth agape. The acting is so superb as to whisk you back to Paris of the '30's with a young woman sining in the streets and dazzling her audiences.

Marion Cotillard won an Academy Award for this part and I know why. She is more than spectacular.

"Touching, moving and fabulous! ", La vie en Rose is a classic.
Unbelievable performance from Marion Cotillard.
Interesting cinematography and suspense building cadence.
Sometime hard to follow with its time changes but worth every minute.

"In One Word: Wow!", I'm a guy who normally doesn't watch a lot of melodramas, but this film just stunned me....in every capacity. When it was over, all I could mutter was "wow!" It makes me want to know more about Piaf.

In addition to the great cinematography, the story was terrific, an extremely powerful one. I can't believe how mesmerizing Marion Cotillard was in the lead role of "Edith Piaf."

"Props" also for (1) Tetsuo Nagata's photography; (2) Cotillard's acting and her incredibly big-and-sad eyes which made Edith look unique; (3) the voice of Piaf. What a singer! Thankfully, we get to hear a lot of her songs in here; (4) Oliver Dahan's superb direction, and (5) the emotional story, which keeps you riveted to the screen for over two hours.

Kudos also to the makeup department, which did an incredible job of transforming Cotillard into someone who looked a lot older than her years,. and to the two little girls who played Edith as a 5-year-old (Marion Chevalier) and as a 10-year-old (Pauline Burlet). They, too, were terrific.

Yes, there are flaws and/or puzzling omissions. I was surprised the World War II years were totally bypassed and that Piaf losing her child was almost an afterthought near the end of the film. That should have been a bigger part of her story. However, people have to realize that one can't cover everything in a famous person's biography in just a 140-minute film. There are bound to be many things left out, and you have to accept that.

Nonetheless, I still was thoroughly entertained and thought it was great and wonderful film-making.

"The Great Lady seen as a besotted drug addict", This film had an enormous success when it came out and it was the winner of quite a few awards, Oscars and Caesars. But the DVD is already on sale, and at a dramatic low price. The film was well made, rich indeed and the actress did a fabulous composition to fit with her part, because it was only a part that was dictated by the author and director. All the nostalgic liked it for a short while because it was some music from a distant past but so few of Piaf's songs were actually performed, and in their entirety, that the film lost its nostalgic appeal very fast. But the worse was still to come because the composite portrait painted on this screen has little to do with the real woman. So many things are absent. Her deep connections with Jews during the war for one, and after the war for two, with her famous Exodus song. And the extremely devout Catholic mirage projected onto that woman is absurd, to the point of ignoring her last husband nearly totally, since he was a Greek Orthodox. The woman is betrayed into a neurotic even psychotic capricious clown that kills herself with morphine and other drugs, willfully and consciously out of foolishness, love seen as a derangement, and plain suicidal conduct. She wasn't that. She was warm, loving, extremely attentive to others and many other qualities that are ignored and even rejected so that she appears as a crazy Catholic that is attached, in the most derogative Buddhist meaning, to a cross and a Saint and Jesus. I was asked recently to produce a note on her "Jewishness" and I was embarrassed because in spite of all the links she had with Jews and Judaism and Israel, it is difficult to find in her life a real testimony about her religion, especially with her last marriage being in the Orthodox faith. And I think that this bigotry of the film explains why it is already nearly given away to anyone who wants to grab it. I personally feel betrayed by this film because I lived that period in a completely different light with widely accepted maybe untruths but magical and mythical stories about this great lady that has inspired so many other artists.

"La Vie en Rose", This is a well made, truly excellent rendition of Edith Piaf's life. It tells the story of her life though a series of flashbacks. It takes us from her humble birth, though the difficult years of her childhood and teen years. This movie helps us better understand the kind of events that helped shape her personality as well as her complexes. Throughout the film we hear her beautiful music which reflects her deep desire to be loved and her unwavering sense of hope. One comes away from the film with sadness for the difficulties she endured thoughout her life but with a great respect for her ability to rise above her problems and create beautiful music.

""I regret nothing."", The story of France's most beloved singer begins in 1918 in a squalid section of Paris. Little Edith is abandoned by her parents and goes to live in her grandmother's brothel. There, she becomes blind from an eye disease and is cared for by the prostitutes. When she recovers her sight, she is forced to join her father as a street performer. Her remarkable singing voice is noticed by a night club manager and she begins her meteoric climb to success, but it is tempered by a series of personal tragedies.

The beautiful Marion Cotillard gives the performance of her life as Edith as she physically transforms several times and is utterly convincing as a scrappy street kid, a sickly drug addict, and finally, a prematurely-aged invalid. She rightly won the Best Actress Oscar for this challenging role.

The movie is in French with English subtitles, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment at all; in fact, hearing the beautiful French throughout made it better. Piaf's voice is heard on all the songs and it's a voice that reflects great pain and inner strength. This is an emotionally-draining film with outstanding acting. Highly recommended.

"Happy with this slashed price", This is a film I can watch again and again, primarily because I love the music. Piaf was an amazing force and she's quite a heroine in France. The casting for her role could not have been better and the script stayed true to the real facts of her life. This is an excellent period piece. She is an inspiration.

"Heartbreaking", Incredible performance, moving and tragic story. I now understand why Piaf's voice was so wonderful, sad, haunting, but proud.

I will watch over and over again.

"Memorable and haunting!", Marion Cotillard's portrayal of Edith Piaff is one of the best personifications of a trouble star. I watched this story and could not even take a break. La Piaff's life was anything but normal, and listening to her songs is an unforgetable experience for anyone who liked her style. Highly recommended.
