High notes hit home in this astonishing biopic

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2008)

One of the best films of the year,La Vie en Rose or La Mome succeeds in delivering a very emotional and touching film. The film is basically about quintessential French singer Edith Piaf and key points in her life,Oscar winner Marion Cotillard proves that her performance in this movie as Edith Piaf was worthy of her winning the Oscar.Her performance in this film is of a very high standard and also proves that no matter what language the film is,in this case it is French that anyone is worthy of an Oscar win.Cotillard hits the high notes in this particular performance as she puts her soul into Piaf's and makes for some interesting acting.The rest of the cast which includes Oscar nominee Gerard Depardieu and others deserve praise.Well done!
