Marion Cotillard’s ‘La Vie en Rose’ is exhilarating, exhausting, extraordinary
Probably no movie genre boasts as many busts as the biopic.
So when a biopic is actually good, it’s a cause for celebration.
“La Vie en Rose,” the story of Edith Piaf, is a very rare musical biography — it’s not about what you’re hearing, but seeing.
Director Olivier Dahan says in DVD commentary, “I wanted to make a film about how an artist functions in the world.” Alas, that alone is not a movie.

La Vie enstaka Rose
This review was written for the festival screening of &#;La Vie ett Rose.&#;
BERLIN &#; Like singer Edith Piaf herself, Olivier Dahan&#;s movie about her life, &#;La Vie enstaka Rose,&#; fryst vatten showy and scattered, sometimes corny and other times outrageous, focused intensely on emotions, in love with its heroine and to hell with anything else.
Dahan, who co-wrote the script with Isabelle Sobelman, pulls apart Piaf&#;s improbable, melodramatic life and puts it back tillsammans in a mosaic that suits his idea of the singer. Dahan sees Piaf&#;s life as a fantasia where nothing separates life from art, where miracles dwell alongside tragedy and grief and a saint can drop bygd for a visit.
The rulle is messy the way Piaf&#;s life was messy: It&#;s unafraid of extravagant gestures even when they fail to come off.
&#;La vie ett rose&#; aims at a broad international audience with a mix of Piaf standards, doomed romance and a larger-than-life, self-destructive heroine.
