The Extraordinary life of Edith Piaf
If you appreciate the music of Edith Piaf, La Vie en Rose is probably the best biopic to watch. To be honest, I had no idea what kind of like Edith lived before watching this. I just knew that I loved “La Vie en Rose” and “Non, je ne regrette rien” as having the most romantic and (for lack of a better word) ballsy lyrics I’ve ever heard. Her singing voice is like no other. I also now know why Marion Cotillard won awards for the movie, because she did so damn good.
I also found a new movie that Marion Cotillard is in, called Nine. Apparently it was on Broadway? (Shows how much I keep up with musical theater, I had no clue) Long story short, it follows a film director as he tries to find harmony between his professional and personal lives and his numerous relationships with women in his life. If you liked Chicago, you might like this. It’s got hot women (Marion! Nicole! Penelope! Oh my!) and a bunch of musical numbers. I have a feeling I might LOVE IT.
