restaurateurs, her staff, and of course her public were all drawn into the tragic life she led. Her fans both hated and adored her as her erratic career mirrored the turmoil in her life. Ms. Piafs alcohol and drug addictions eventually led to her early death at age 47. The alcohol was Champagne and the drug was morphine, neither of which she tried to control until they had taken their toll on her voice and body.
The film uses many flash backs and the time line is disjointed. I found I had to pay close attention in order to keep it straight. Several times I was not sure where the film came from or where it went to in Ms. Piafs life. But it never lost my interest. To watch Ms. Cotillard play the glamorous young Piaf and then transform herself into the ravaged star in her last days is more a tribute to her acting abilities than to some talented make up artist.
Profound acting. Great music. Oscar nominations are sure to come.
