La Vie en Rose / La Môme Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2007 [February 28 - March 11] Director: Olivier Dahan, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 140 We’re delighted and honored to present as the opening film of this year’s Rendez-Vous the North American premiere of La Vie en Rose, Olivier Dahan’s fascinating, deeply moving portrait of the great Edith Piaf. One of the iconic figures and voices of 20th century France, Piaf (Marion Cotillard) was born into poverty, abandoned by her mother and shuttled between her brothel-keeper grandmother and circus-performer father. Singing on street corners for pennies, she one day attracts the attention of Louis Leplée (Gérard Depardieu), owner of one of the most posh nightclubs in town. Soon she’s the toast of Paris, with friends ranging from Jean Cocteau to Marlene Dietrich to boxer Marcel Cerdan and a soaring, deep-throated voice that came to symbolize a certain kind of tenacious humanity, a willingness to go on no matter what the odds. Despite her fame and fortune, she would suffer more than her share of tragedies: the loss or abandonment of loved ones, as well as her own devastating abuse of her own body with drink and eventually drugs. Cotillard (A Good Year, A Very Long Engagement, Big Fish) gives one of the most remarkable performances seen anywhere in years; she brilliantly captures Piaf’s fragility, the constant, nagging fear that everything around her could disappear in an instant, leaving her back on the streets. A powerful supporting cast includes Depardieu, Sylvie Testud, Pascal Greggory, Emmanuelle Seigner and Marc Barbé. Opening Night February 28th, 8:00pm at Alice Tully Hall Admission: $22 public, $18 FSLC members.
