I have heard Edith Piaf sing.  But before last night I was not aware of how much I liked her.  While watching other movies about music or musicians, the repitition of music becomes grating.  Not in La Vie en Rose; I found myself wishing for more of Piaf’s music to play. 

Edith’s life was interesting in a singular way.  Her voice and experience will never be duplicated.  Reading her wikipedia I saw that she was 4 feet 8 inches tall.  She looks sad in all of her pictures.  Her eyes are big.  She always wore black on stage.  When she came to America, people thought she was too sad and they didn’t understand her.  Her funeral procession stopped traffic in Paris.
