Heartbreaking story, excellent film

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2007)

This was a excellent movie, one of the best biographical films ever. Its so touching and emotional that you really feels the agony and desperation the character is living. Its an interesting, tear dropping and heartbreaking story about the tragic life of french singer Edith Piaf, the plot is very well developed and truly convincing. The direction from Oliver Dahan is excellent, he gives the movie a very good rhythm by telling a story full of dramatism but without falling in corny situations. The cast is simply magnificent, everyone's acting is flawless specially from Clotilde Courau that with this role she is giving maybe the performance of her life because she's not only performing a character, its clearly she is living it to the fullest. The special appearance from Gerard Depardieu was also very good. The music was just wonderful. Its simply a great masterpiece of modern time that you will enjoy and suffer.
