I watched this one a while ago, but I thought it was worth writing about anyway. It's the tale of the (very sad) life of one Ms. Edith Piaf. Perhaps you've heard of her?There was a lot of tragedy, a little bit of crazy, and some amazing music in her life, and hence also in this movie. If you're a casual jazz listener (like me), you probably just like her music and her ethereal voice, but this movie gives much more meaning to her songs.
But beware: it's long, and not terribly uplifting. There are moments of brightness, but they are inevitably eclipsed by the sadness of her demise.
