Best Actress Marion Cotillard looks like the perfect mermaid in her brilliant Jean Paul Gaultier confection. (Kimora Lee Simmons didn’t like her dress but we disagree) NOW maybe you’ll take our advice and run out to see or rent her movie La Vie En Rose. Not enough people SAW this epic movie. Hers was, by far, the most exquisite performance by an actress this year, and we are SO happy she got the recognition she deserved.
We were lucky to have an early peek at one of the best movies of the year last night and we don’t want you to miss it. It’s La Vie En Rose – a gorgeous European epic about the life of Edith Piaf, and it won’t be released here until June 8, so mark your calendars in advance. The story is amazing – it begins in the 1920’s in the streets of Paris. Piaf had a tawdry upbringing in a whorehouse and she grew up singing on streetcorners. Eventually this tiny common girl with a powerful voice became the toast of her country. Her romance with a boxer is heartwrenching and Marion Cotillard as Piaf is perfect. The story is beautifully photographed in exquisite detail (you’ll love the fashion – especially the little French suits) and absolutely fascinating – so engrossing, you don’t even mind the subtitles.
