剧情简介

有着“小麻雀”之称的法国国宝级歌手艾迪特•皮雅芙(玛丽昂•歌迪亚饰),她有着传奇的一生。皮雅芙的童年颠沛流离,先是被母亲抛弃,然后被父亲送到妓院由祖母抚养,随后在父亲从军队退役后,又被强行带走随马戏团演出生活。再之后皮雅芙跟随父亲卖艺为生,街头初啼并到成为一名酒吧卖唱的少女。

正式登台的皮雅芙顺利成为一名歌喉迷人的明星,演唱了许多脍炙人口的歌曲。然而她的情感却一再受挫,尤其是和拳击手马塞尔(让-皮埃尔·马丁斯饰)的情感经历。她的晚年每况愈下,最后死于肝癌。

对话文本:

La Vie en Rose, a new film by Olivier Dahan , tells a story of Édith Piaf, the great French singer who is one of the icons of French culture in the postwar era. Piaf is played by Marion Cotillard, a fine-boned, big-eyed actress who gives one of those bravura biopic performances that seems bent on convincing you that you are actually watching not just the person,the movie is about but an even more real version of that person.

Now this movie has some of the standard satisfactions and also the standard limitations of the Hollywood biopic.It made me wonder if all famous musicians basically have the same life or if all movies about famous musicians basically tell the same story, like Ray Charles in Ray and Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, this Édith Piaf rises up from an impoverished unhappy traumatic childhood to battle drug addiction, to have a series of love affairs, to collapse on stage, to get in car accidents, to have a lover died in a plane crash, to betray her best friends to sign record deals , and to just sing her little heart out.

The director seems to make some very odd choices about what to tell and what not to tell, for example it’s not until the very end of the movie when Édith Piaf is on her death bed that you suddenly have a flash back and discover that when she was a teenager she had a child who died of meningitis.It's kind of like "Oh, by the way, did I mention, I had a child and she died".One thing that’s not mentioned at all is the Second World War, the movie jumps from 1940 when Édith Piaf meets a soldier who is about to go off to the front to 1947 when she’s in New York falling in love with a French boxer. And it seems odd that a movie about such a major figure in the history of France would not have anything about her life in the major event of 20th century French history. So all in all, this is a rather baffling movie, just doesn’t feel particularly urgent or necessary.It doesn’t feel like it adds anything to your understanding of this fascinating and strange figure.
