LA VIE EN ROSE

If anyone out there is serious about acting - I highly recommend that you rent LA VIE EN ROSE which is a heartbreaking film about the life of Edith Piaf - brilliantly performed by Marion Cottilard who gives an Oscar-worthy performance (I know who I'll be rooting for Oscar night.) Have the Kleenex ready kids but this movie is a must-see. I am so inspired by the performance I just saw but also by the life of Edith Piaf however tragic she is a magnificent & extraordinary human being.

I have always loved Piaf's songs but never really knew much about her - there got to a point in the film where I just couldn't watch anymore because I knew that tragedy would be around the corner. I was completely mesmerized by Cotillard's performance - how at such a young age she was able to play Piaf who was a frail morphine addict by the time she time at age 47. What an amazing woman - watch this movie. I highly recommend it.
