La Vie en Rose 2007 123movies

Watch: La Môme 2007 123movies, Full Movie Online – An un-chronological look at the life of the Little Sparrow, Édith Piaf (1915-1963). Her mother is an alcoholic street singer, her father a circus performer, her paternal grandmother a madam. During childhood she lives with each of them. At 20, she’s a street singer discovered by a club owner who’s soon murdered, coached by a musician who brings her to concert halls, and then quickly famous. Constant companions are alcohol and heartache. The tragedies of her love affair with Marcel Cerdan and the death of her only child belie the words of one of her signature songs, “Non, je ne regrette rien.” The back and forth nature of the narrative suggests the patterns of memory and association..
Plot: From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York’s most famous concert halls, Edith Piaf’s life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Raised in her grandmother’s brothel, Piaf was discovered in 1935 by nightclub owner Louis Leplee, who persuaded her to sing despite her extreme nervousness. Piaf became one of France’s immortal icons, her voice one of the indelible signatures of the 20th century.

Reviews:

A Magnificent Biopic, but Overwhelmingly Sad
Piaf’s tumultuous life receives a superb framework in this excellent biopic. I’ve read some criticism of Dahan’s editing style which switches often to various parts of her all-too-brief life, but with a woman of such roiling emotions and dramatic upheavals, how could it not be so? The two things I found missing here were her WWII Resistance activities and her final marriage to a man twenty years her junior. But then again the film might have approached the three- hour mark and at nearly two and a half, you walk away feeling as though you witnessed a train wreck in slow-mo. Please do not let this prevent you from seeing an astonishingly fine recreation of a life that is so fully lived you cannot believe it. Piaf’s magnificent, emotional singing is fully complemented by Cotillards balls to the wall performance. Heart and soul are in total sync here and Cotillard manages to age astonishingly well. This is a terrible tale of a child grotesquely abandoned emotionally by her parents. Piaf’s will to live is inspiring even in the face of self-destruction that makes Judy Garland’s own battles with alcohol and drugs seem minor in comparison. The parallels to both women are hard to ignore. The rest of the cast is first-rate, and the film beautifully evokes the eras covered in her life. Best of all there is the great Piaf recorded legacy which is well-handled here. There’s no sense that Cotillard is not singing and that’s a testament to the skill that suffuses this fine film. Excellent.

In One Word: Wow!
I have been blessed in the past two weeks to see several extraordinarily-filmed movies but this might be the best of the bunch. In addition to the great cinematography, the story was terrific, an extremely powerful one. I can’t believe how mesmerizing Marion Cotillard was in the lead role of “Edith Piaf.”

The above superlatives, and ones mentioned below, by the way, come from a guy (me) who normally doesn’t watch a lot of melodramas, either. But this film just stunned me….in every capacity. When it was over, all I could mutter was “wow!” It makes me want to know more about Piaf.

In order, I was most impressed with (1) Tetsuo Nagata’s photography; (2) Cotillard’s acting and her incredibly big-and-sad eyes which made Edith look unique; (3) the voice of Piaf. What a singer! Thankfully, we get to hear a lot of her songs in here; (4) Oliver Dahan’s superb direction, and (5) the emotional story, which keeps you riveted to the screen for over two hours.

I had read where this is a depressing biopic – and I don’t like those kind – but I didn’t find it such. I found it more fascinating, than anything else. This woman really had her ups-and- downs, some of which was no fault of hers and some she caused. In either case, her life was an amazing one. To me, this is not a soap opera.

Also, I knew in advance – and it helped me, so I pass it along to you – that the film had a number of flashbacks. If you expect it, I don’t think you’ll be thrown off by them. Time goes back and forth a lot in here, but it concentrates much more on Edith’s childhood and adult years. You don’t see her as a physically sick woman except in short bursts.

That reminds me…..kudos to the makeup department, which did an incredible job of transforming Cotillard into someone who looked a lot older than her years,. and did it so well that one couldn’t tell on closeup shots. To see Edith’s appearance as a 40-something year old who looked 80 was shocking and made those many time transitions easier to discern.

“Props” should also be given to the two little girls who played Edith as a 5-year-old (Marion Chevalier) and as a 10-year-old (Pauline Burlet). They, too, were terrific.

Yes, there are flaws and/or puzzling omissions. I was surprised the World War II years were totally bypassed and that Piaf losing her child was almost an afterthought near the end of the film. That should have been a bigger part of her story. However, people have to realize that one can’t cover everything in a famous person’s biography in just a 140-minute film. There are bound to be many things left out, and you have to accept that.

Nonetheless, I still was thoroughly entertained and thought it was great and wonderful film-making.
