Keep your eye on the sparrow

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2007)

OK, this is surely a melodrama, but quite intense, about the mostly tragic life of Edith Piaf; who has became an icon and a symbol for Paris during the 1900s.
Marion Cotillard is simply splendid and really have the looks of the original in a way which is nearly frightening. She's the main person here. Not just because she plays the main character, but also because of her immense passion and intensity.
A very theatrical movie, but somewhat you understand that it has been watching the American market with one eye, since much of the plot takes place in USA. Anyway you're not untouched and get even more interested in Edith Piaf's art, then you were before.
