La Vie En Rose (Life In Pink) is the title in English-speaking territories for the Academy Award winning film La Môme, a 2007 French movie directed by Olivier Dahan about singer Édith Piaf, starring Marion Cotillard in an Oscar-winning performance as Piaf.

Plot

The film presents a fractured and largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Édith Piaf. Although scenes often jump back and forth across decades (evoked as flashbacks mostly from within Edith's memories), parts of her childhood take up much of the first part, and the movie ends with her death, and the performance of what is perhaps her signature song, "Non, je ne regrette rien".

Cast

Production

  • For almost all the performances in the movie ("Heaven Have Mercy", "Milord", "Rien de rien", "La foule", "Cri du cœur", "La vie en rose" (English version), "Mon Dieu", "Hymne à l'amour", "Mon manège à moi", "Non, je ne regrette rien"), the original recordings of Piaf were used, because the director Olivier Dahan thought it impossible to replicate her uniquely distinct voice and because he wanted to keep it as authentic sounding as possible.[citation needed]
  • However, four songs were entirely performed by "Parigote" singer Jil Aigrot: "Mon Homme", "Les Mômes de la Cloche", "Mon Légionnaire", "Les Hiboux" as well as the third verse and chorus of "L'Accordéoniste" and the first chorus of "Padam Padam" since they were the songs that Piaf/Cotillard sang when she was fatigued and fell on stage.
  • Apart from that, "La Marseillaise" is performed by child singer Cassandre Berger (lip-synched by Pauline Burlet, who plays the young Édith in the film), and Mistinguett's "Mon Homme" and "Il m'a vu nue" (sung in part by Emmanuelle Seigner) also appear.
  • The movie premiered at the Berlin Film Festival.

Box office performance

In theaters, the film grossed US$81,945,871 worldwide — $10,072,300 in the United States and Canada and $71,873,571 elsewhere in the world.[1] In the countries of France, Algeria, Monaco, Morocco and Tunisia, the film grossed a total of $42,014,775.[2]
