Abstract
Given that it’s Harry Potter time again (the fifth film in the series has rolled out this
week) it’s also that part of the cinematic year during which any number of smaller,
quieter, even – dare one say it – potentially more interesting films can come and go
almost undetected in the wake of the box-office juggernauts. Not that there’s anything
wrong with young Harry; it’s just that enormous franchises like his can so easily
obscure worthy smaller films that dare to open at around the same time. La Vie en
Rose is precisely such an offering: a carefully made and beautifully performed bio-pic
of legendary French songstress Edith Piaf. The film has been a big deal in its native
country, and rightly so; here though it’s a minor art-house release, and in my opinion
it’s absolutely worthy of discussion.
