Andrew and I went to the movies last night to see the move La Vie En Rose, the story of the famous French singer Edith Piaf. It was quite bitsy, with the story jumping backwards and forwards in time, which meant that you had to concentrate to understand what was going on. But it seemed to work ok, and I really liked the movie….though I have to admit that I cried through a lot of it. Edith had such a tragic life, though in some ways it was also a life of excess! A very interesting movie, and one that made me look up more about her when I got home. Apparently she did a lot of work for the French resistance during WWII, but that wasn’t mentioned at all in the movie. All in all, I’d highly recommend La Vie En Rose, but if you’re a sobber like me, take plenty of tissues.
