We have just added a free preview screening of the new Edith Piaf biopic La Vie En Rose!
Thursday, June 7. 7:30pm. Walker Cinema. FREE!
A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing, writer-director Olivier Dahan's La Vie En Rose stars 2005 Cesar Award-winner Marion Cotillard (A Very Long Engagement, A Good Year) in a blazing performance as the legendary French icon Edith Piaf. Perhaps finding her nearest American analogues in figures such as Billie Holiday and Judy Garland, the world-famous chanteuse lived a tragic life worthy of a novel by Zola or Balzac. From the mean streets of Paris' Belleville district--where she was born into abject poverty and grew up surrounded by street performers, hookers, and pimps--to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, Piaf constantly battled to sing and survive, to live and love. Her magical voice made her a star on both sides of the Atlantic. 2007, color, 35mm, 140 minutes.
