Relations entre hommes et femmes France Films.
Von der Mutter verlassen, aufgewachsen in grösster Armut in den heruntergekommenen Strassen von Paris: Edith Piafs Leben war ein einziger Kampf um Liebe und Anerkennung. Ihre Lieder, wie "La vie en rose", "Non, je ne regrette rien" und viele mehr, machten sie schliesslich zum Weltstar auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks. Aber auch ihre leidenschaftlichen Affären und die Freundschaften mit bedeutenden Zeitgenossen, wie Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour und Marlene Dietrich, rückten sie immer wieder ins Rampenlicht. Stets wechselten sich im Leben der Piaf Höhenflüge und Glück ab mit Dramen und tragischen Abstürzen. Selbst der Öffentlichkeit war klar, dass sich der "Spatz von Paris", wie sie liebevoll genannt wurde, irgendwann einmal die Flügel verbrennen würde.

À peine révélée au tout-Paris, la Môme Piaf, ainsi que la baptise Leplée, devient une paria lorsque ce dernier meurt dans des circonstances nébuleuses.

Musical films
Story of a woman who lived in France and lived her life singing and loving.
From the streets of the cutthroat Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's glamerous concert halls, to live and love. Raised in abject poverty, surrounded by hookers and pimps, Edith's magical voice made her a star on both sides of the Atlantic. Her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, boxing world champion Marcel Cerdan - made her a household name as much as her memorable live perfomances and beautiful renditions of songs she made famous internationally. "La Vie en Rose", "Milord", "Hymn to Love", " Non, je ne regrette rien" and many more. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the "Little Sparow" - as she was nicknamed - flew so high that she could not fail to burn her wings.
"La vie en rose", "Non, je ne regrette rien" - Edith Piafs Lieder sind weltberühmt. Nun wird dieser Mythos aus Stimme und Blut auf der Leinwand lebendig. Mehr als vierzig Jahre nach ihrem Tod steht sie auch heute noch weltweit für das, was den Charakter eines ganzen Volkes prägte: das französische Chanson. Doch bis aus dem winzigen, zarten Mädchen der berühmte Weltstar wurde, war Edith Piafs Leben ein einziger Kampf um Liebe, Leidenschaft, Existenz. An Originalschauplätzen in Paris, aber auch in Prag und Los Angeles lässt Regisseur Olivier Dahan das Leben des "Spatzen von Paris" noch einmal Revue passieren.
Biography of French singer Edith Piaf (Cotillard). Neglected by her mother, Edith is brought up by her grandmother and then by her father, a travelling acrobat. The street singer is discovered and rises to fame, determined to work even when dying.
"Nicknamed La Môme Piaf (The Little Sparrow) by her first manager, Edith Piaf lead a life as dramatic as one of her passionate performances. Born into poverty, abandoned by her mother, dumped by her father into her grandmother's brothel and forced to busk on the streets to avoid prostitution, she had lived through a lifetime of toil before her remarkable singing talent was eventually discovered. With her inimitable vocals, diminutive stature and severe looks (towards the end of her life she looked twice her age), stepping into Piaf's shoes is no easy task, making Marion Cotillard's performance all the more extraordinary. Taking Piaf from adolescence to her final days, she effortlessly avoids caricature to recreate this unique icon. Although Cotillard mimes to the majority of the songs - who other than Piaf can sing Piaf? - her gestures and expressions make each number an electrifying spectacle."
"From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf's life was a battle to sing and survive, live and love. Raised in poverty, Edith's magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others - made her a star all around the world.
