Summary |
This French drama explores the often troubled life of Edith Piaf as her fame took her from the City of Light to America to the south of France.

While singing on streets of Paris as a teen, Piaf is discovered by club owner Louis Leplee, and this chance encounter changes her life. Her powerful voice takes her all over the globe, but it can't guard her from the pain and suffering she can't avoid. Winner of two Academy Awards including Best Actress for Marion Cotillard. Directed by Olivier Dahan and stars Marion Cotillard, Emmanuelle Seigner and Gerard Depardieu. (In French, English subtitles) (Drama) (2007) (Class tba) WS |
