Unter dem Künstlernamen La Môme Piaf ("Kleiner Spatz") gelingt der nur knapp 1,42 Meter großen Chanteuse der Durchbruch, nachdem sie der Nachtclubbesitzer Louis Leplée (Gérard Depardieu) entdeckt hat. Es folgen tragische Romanzen, Alkoholexzesse und Krankheiten.
Eine Frau, die nichts bereut: Edith Piaf (1915-1963), Frankreichs beliebteste Sängerin und Nationalikone, deren Musik stets ihr tragisches Leben widerspiegelte. Ein prächtiges, bewegendes Portrait mit starken Leistungen vor und hinter der Kamera.
A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, writer-director Olivier Dahan's La Vie en Rose stars Marion Cotillard in a blazing performance as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf. From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, 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 (Gerard Depardieu), 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.
