Trivia:
This film became the third-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States in the last two decades behind 'Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain' (2001) and 'Le Pacte des loups' (2001). more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene at the hospital (set in 1960), Piaf says: "I'm 44 years old", indicating that she was born in 1916. So in the first scene (set in 1916) she couldn't be a little girl. more

No Regrets, 28 February 2007
9/10
Author: Mark from Munich, Germany

It is a crime that most people in America do not know of Piaf or her music. Or if they do it is thanks to the Grace Jones version of LA VIE EN ROSE (which is not half bad).

Marion Cotillard as Piaf was a dream to watch... particularly when she played the older Piaf. Her pain, her loss came through exquisitely. And even the two actresses who played Piaf earlier in life were excellent. The director - Olivier Dahan - has been criticized (and rightly so) in other postings. But in the case of the 3 Piafs he has done his job well, creating the full character of the woman.

And for me the highlight was toward the end when Piaf sings NON,JE NE REGRETTE RIEN (NO REGRETS). The song written for Piaf is a summation of the film and her life. And for the first time in a VERY long time, I actually had tears on my face in a cinema.

That alone is a very high recommendation.
