La môme (2007)



The life story of singer of Edith Piaf.

Magnificent bio-pic cleverly meandering back and forth between different stages of the artist's life, and Cotillard's performance is immaculate.

Maltin***: "Not a conventional biography...Randomness of the narrative is a liability, but a must-see for Cotillard's astonishing Academy Award-winning performance. She transforms herself into the Little Sparrowin her youth, at her peak, and during her precipitous decline...and does a remarkable job lyp-synching Piaf (and a soundalike who recorded songs from her early years)."
