indeed je ne regrette rien

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2008)

How words can declare the magnificent Edith Piaf ? How picture can review her indeed extraordinary life ? a lot of such Hows are answered here in this movie . Marion Cotillard and her natural staring , shining , outstanding , Thrilling ( No more words needed ... ) performance worths watching 100 times . of how she is accurate of picturing Edith Piaf's extraordinary life . of how she does a great job of portraying Piaf at this high range of art . there are a lot of examples for such a roles in which are unsuccessful . like Sienna Miller's performance as Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl ( 2006 ) . though not bad , but it ain't very special . to understand the subject you should watch it . anyway Marion gives a performance of lifetime . a performance that everyone will save it into their memories . from the start to end of the movie , you can feel Marion staring all over .
storyline is about How Piaf( Marion Cotillard ) was hurt ed when she was a child . of how she was raised after her drunk mother left her and her hard condition with his father in circus . and how she was singing in the streets with her friend Mômone ( Sylvie Testud ) to gain the money and have more drinks . the times that she was discovered in cabarets by the owner Louis Leplée ( Gérard Depardieu ) and this is her direction to the stage . and how she fell in love with Marcel Cerdan ( Jean-Pierre Martins ) , a married boxer and by the times of Marcel,s plane crash , she leads to alchol and her incoming death at the age of 48 .
the film is assembled well . and the cast are really good . although i know a few of them by reputation . only Gérard Depardieu and Marion herself because of her performance in A Good Year ( 2006 ) . but this role is so much deferent than her role in A Good Year . this is a performance of her career .
Olivier Dahan is a very talented director . with this movie , he proves that he can have big progresses in the future . next to all the entertaining summer movies , this is a pearl in the shell . and it could be bad if Marion did not take part . it is like how do you assume Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) without Elizabeth Taylor ? no way fellas . it is that makes one performance shining above the cinema history . indeed it is no regrets for Piaf . her magic voice dancing all over the movie . it gives a sense like Fly high above the clouds . indeed je ne regrette rien ...
