La Vie En Rose
Marion Cotillard
is a French Movie (with English Subtitles) about the life of singer Edith Piaf.
I often enjoy subtitled foreign films as a nice change from the regular dose of Americana, but while this one had its moments, I had that same uneasy feeling that I had during Atonement.
That feeling of `When is this going to end', where painful moments are drawn out and you feel like slitting your wrists just to make it stop.
I enjoyed her more powerful songs... like when she sang the National Anthem as a girl, and the closing scene was quite powerful... but as for the rest, it didn't leave me enthralled by the music. Being enthralled by the music makes up for a lot.
Unless you know her music, and are a fan... give this one a miss.
