The little sparrow...Marion Cotillard

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2008)

Nothing short of breathtaking and desirable!
If there were a hundred films that captured Edith Piaf this is the one and truly master, it captivates the viewer and will never surrender; It is a film for the decades to follow, simply superb in all measures starting with the portraits of light and lush colours made by Oliver Dahan and full filled by the one and only 'Little Sparrow' Marion Cotillard who shall forever remain in the viewers mind of nothing short of a master in acting.
The only flaw i feel is the chance of Marion Cotillard being compared to Helen Mirrens shabby performance as the queen a year before, as the Oscar winning position of best Actress 2007; I do WISH Marion Cotillard to be given the Oscar for her performance, she deserves it! But wish to point out that she is miles ahead of the Academies choices, Helen Mirren is chewing gum (cheep and nasty) compared to Marion Cotillards performance a year on!
to any viewer this masterpiece is the reason to love FILM!
