La Vie en Rose

A brilliant performance by Marion Cotillard and a great soundtrack makes this biopic worthwhile. However the non-linear storytelling may confuse those who are not familiar with Edith Piaf. The beautiful Marion Cotillard's transformation is one to behold. It recalls the transformation that Charlize Theron did. The director Olivier Dahan makes some wise choices to bring some fresh air into the genre, one is the use of Piaf songs early on. The cast and crew are solid in this lavish production. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
