From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Piaf's life was a battle to sing and survive. Raised in poverty, Edith's unique voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others - made her a star all around the world. Review: Great film - Brilliant film - great leading performance! Review: A simply superbe Piaf ! - A wonderful mesmerising film. As a film subject this Piaf will not be bettered.`La Vie en Rosé' is much more than just a movie, it is truly a cinematic experience. I watched the film on DVD and was transfixed for 135 hypnotic minutes as the harrowing tale of the life of Edith Piaf progressed towards its inevitable conclusion. The movie is a gut-wrenching, mesmeric piece of cinema that left me drained for some time after the end titles had long faded! Piaf's story is shot in a non-linear format - and all the better for that in my view as much of the essential story, including some of the songs, would have piled up in the last third of the film. The flashback sequences, of which there are many, are in any case not difficult to follow and make for the interesting, attention gripping technique that the film demands. Marion Cottliard's performance as Piaf is an astonishing piece of acting. The part called for her to age from 19 to 43 years. The movie has a large cast (all except a couple or so actors will probably be unknown to most audiences beyond followers of French cinema), the film is all about the central character and Cottliard is in the frame more or less throughout the entire movie. The cinematography is superb, almost `noir' , and the Parisian streets of Piaf's childhood marvellously depicted. Everything about this film is beyond praise. The acting, the direction and especially the lip-syncing of Cottliard (it is the real Piaf we are listening too for the songs) are near miraculous. The make-up artists do a great `ageing' job as Piaf grows older with her deteriorating health problems and with her costumes it really does seem that this is not a movie being watched but a live concert. If this film does not feature strongly in the Academy Awards there is simply no justice! Post Script. Since I wrote this critique, Marianne Cottliard has won the BAFTA best actress award, and a few weeks later in Hollywood the Academy Award (Oscar) for best actress. Justice was indeed done! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001E25MEW | | Actors | Emmanuelle Seigner, Jean-Paul Rouve, Marion Cotillard, Pascal Greggory, Sylvie Testud | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,849 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 142 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 5,319 in Portable Sound & Video Products | | Country of origin | Italy | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,216) | | Director | Olivier Dahan | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5051429601236 | | Language | French | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Alain Goldman | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 100 g | | Release date | 13 Oct. 2008 | | Run time | 2 hours and 20 minutes | | Studio | Icon Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Isabelle Sobelman, Olivier Dahan | ## Images ![La Vie En Rose [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7103gCxlCRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film *by R***P on 15 March 2026* Brilliant film - great leading performance! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simply superbe Piaf ! *by D***N on 28 February 2008* A wonderful mesmerising film.

Justice was indeed done! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Champagne Performance From Marion Cotillard *by S***L on 15 March 2017* This is a wonderful French biographical musical film about the life of French singer Édith Piaf. Spoken in French throughout, the DVD has very accurate subtitles and is easy to follow for non-French speakers. Lead actress Marion Cotillard won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance - she thoroughly deserved it. Cotillard gives the performance of a lifetime to intriguingly portray the famous French singer. Covering many decades, the film depicts Cotillard representing a women of considerably different ages, from a teenager right up to the forty seven years that Piaf died at. However, as Piaf was so ill, Cotillard actually was made up to look at least twenty years older than this. It was a stunning achievement from the make-up team to recreate Cotillard to look as old as this, and she showed her full range as an actress - she is utterly convincing portraying the singer at every age. Cotillard's overall performance is astounding. She brings so much emotion and realism to the part that you cannot help but believe she is Piaf. Her portrayal of Piaf's stage fright, raw sense of humour, vulnerability and energetic singing is breathtaking - and the constant manic use of her deep, dark wide eyes is totally convincing. And, her anguished reaction to the death of Marcel in an airplane crash is incredibly emotive and realistic. It is unlikely that any other actress could have matched the ferocity and intensity delivered by Cotillard. The film charts the course of the life of Piaf, starting as a child, drifting into prostitution, and her starting to sing. Her father had abandoned her early in her life, but he returns to enter her into the world of show business, all-be-it accidentally as she gives an impromptu rendition of "La Marseillaise" on a street corner, and continues singing - eventually being noticed by a nightclub owner, and her career develops from there. As her life progresses she has alcohol and morphine addiction problems, as well as arthritis, which decimate her physical and mental state. One potential weakness in the film is the continual jumping backwards and forwards in time, showing Piaf in old age, and going back to the past to unfold key events. Although it worked well at times, the director Olivier Dahan may have over-reached himself by time-traveling too often. At times, the flow and momentum of the film was interrupted and disjointed. This non-linear technique was applauded by many of the critics, but for me it was too much. Overall, Cotillard's performance masks any flaws in the movie. It ends with Piaf dramatically performing "Non, je ne regrette rien" at the Olympia - a spine-tingling finale to a champagne performance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/51094797-la-vie-en-rose-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/51094797-la-vie-en-rose-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
