I saw the trailer for this movie just the other day when I went to see "Waitress" (which by the way is wonderful as well!)

Can't wait to see it!

I have been anxiously awaiting this film as well. If it is at all good I will have to buy the DVD when available.

I read about this movie in the last issue of Bust Magazine that came in the mail about 3 weeks ago, I love Piaf and would love to see this movie.

Too bad it will be playing in seleted theaters. Most foreign language films are like that in the US. Elsewhere, I have no clue.

I just saw the film today and it was great. The theater was filled, with only a few empty seats. The film makes a lot of jumps from one year to another and then back to the previous years, but it was simple to follow for myself. I believe it would be for anyone. I can't say how true it is to Miss Piaf's life but if there was any truth at all in this film, they created it with excellence. Marion Cotillard did a fantastic job as Miss Piaf but without the voice of Edith Piaf, the film would just not have been the same. See it for yourself. I walked away with a smile. So can you.

Right now in the US it's playing in Los Angeles, New York, and San Fransisco. It will spread later this month according to their website.

You can find out where it's playing directly from the official website under "Theaters and Tickets". Here's the US site.

Have others had the opportunity to see La Vie en Rose? I don't go out to the movies very often but, I am very tempted by this one. These days I wait until they come out on DVD.

I haven't noticed listings anywhere other than NYC (LA and SF are on the other coast ).

Rose is currently playing here in Chicago; haven't seen it yet,
but the Chicago Tribune review was decidedly negative. I may catch it this week.

We're looking into getting this later this summer, but I doubt we will -- our booker says it's at least an hour too long and other than the music it tends to sag terribly. But I wouldnt mind seeing for myself...

I enjoyed the movie. And some scenes are quite lovely.
But the story is SO tragic...its a hair away from being a mad magazine joke.

Please note my thread on this subject. Its title is something like New Yorker article on Edith Piaf.
