Film review: La Vie En Rose

source

A film about the life story of the French singer Edith Piaf, the icon of singing and the closest to the hearts of the French, whose fame extended to the world.
Edith Piaf suffered from a very difficult childhood and her mother abandoned her, and during her youth she began singing to people in the streets of the French capital to win their sympathy because she was in bad financial conditions.
To some extent, her talent was discovered by "Louis Luble", one of the restaurant owners in Paris, who helped and trained her to sing at his concerts.
Edit's life was characterized by sadness and pain due to many events affecting her personal life, from her childhood through youth, and ending with tragic personal accidents, cirrhosis and severe depression.
But the sensitive personality produced by pain created a creator who devoted her life to art, and fought battles between singing and survival.
She expressed sadness, love and life, and tried to challenge illness by singing.
And she sang to express the love within her and the pain she suffered: "Je Ne regrette rien." The song that summed up her life-affecting journey.
