I can't? Then what's the point of being Edith Piaf?

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2012)

What's the point of treating others with respect, no less yourself. Much like Robert DiNro in Raging Bull, Marion Cotillard recreates a character that will long remain in the souls of cinefiles and the public alike. The sad symbiotic tales of the characters flowing through the stream of Edith Piafs' life are captured as willing participants in the songstress' drunken existence. Still France adopted her as their soul and this experience is none the less remarkable and seeing the singer come to life by Cotillard makes this more than a one time viewing biopic. You can judge and sympathize at the same time but note only part of history is revealed in this long and choppy binge into the life of Edith Piaf.
