This is a stunning film. I love the music of Edith Piaf and have also read about her life but you do not need to be a fan in order to be moved by this film. The acting is superb - especially Piaf, the gestures, the voice... A beautiful cinematic experience evoking a lost era in Paris whilst pulling no punches. Piaf had a hard life, being brought up by prostitutes, pushed around from one carer to another, eaten away by drugs and alchohol to ease her arthritis. The scene where she awakes to think Cerdan is in her room and then is told he has been in fact killed on this way to be with her is one of the most moving and heartbreaking scenes I have ever seen. Made worse by the fact it was all true! Bravo, bravo, bravo - I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying or appreciating this film on some level - whether musical, artistic, historical or as a pure exploration of human life. Box of tissues at the ready advised.Read full review
I had never heard of Edith Piaf before watching this movie. I was actually glued to the screen. It is such a moving and dramatic story of the life of an amazing artist. The actress which plays Edith Piaf is amazing and i believe she has just won a golden globe for this film. This film is a real tear jerker and the music will haunt you for days afterwards. A great film.
I decided to buy this DVD as I had seen the film at the cinema and wanted to play it to my Mum at home. The film itself is magnificent and I found a lot was lost on the DVD version. This was of course to be expexcted, however, I could not see the value of having a 'second DVD' in the package with extras. If anything I would have liked to have seen more detail on the main DVD. I was left with the impression that the film had been re-edited. It's possible that I am just imagining this but it came across as being rather disjointed and my Mum felt this was the case. Because of the superb acting and the magnificent re-production of Edith Piaf, the DVD remains as a Diamond.
