I assume she can be nominated for an Oscar but the film would have to go into the Foreign language catergory. If she does not get every makor award, there is no justice in the world
It's subtitled, not dubbed right? I saw this in February when i was in France under the original title "La Mome". it was amazing. and they had an interview with Marion Colliard in one of their magazines, and she looks so different in real life!
~And let us try, before we die, to make some sense of life~
I saw a fabulous Broadway show about Piaf decades ago - can't remember who the actress was who played Piaf but she was extraordinary. Anyone recall who it was?
I thought this was going to be about that French movie about the little boy who desires to be a girl.
Incidentally, just last week I enlightened my mom about Edith Piaf. She didn't know who she was.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
I thought that there were 3 different actresses playing the adult Edith, but was amazed when I found out that only Marion Colliard played the 3 ages of Piaf I was FLOORED! She is amazing, perfect lip-synching, and an utter joy to watch onscreen.
The opening, with strains of "Heaven Have Mercy", was chilling and wonderful. The finale with Piaf's final concert done without sound was a perfect ending to this gem of a movie.
The soundtrack is on permanent rotation in my CD player.
