Bio-pic celebrates the life of French singer Edith Piaf. In French with English subtitles.
Olivier Dahan’s impressive biopic of French singer Edith Piaf is an involving and moving portrait, centred by some glorious samples of her music and a sterling central performance from Marion Cotillard. Homeless from a young age, Piaf was adopted by prostitutes and took to singing for her supper before she was spotted by a nightclub impresario. In her scant 47 years she crammed in so much, reaching dizzying heights of stardom in France before her untimely death. Cotillard is stunning as Piaf, giving us the reasons why she told such a story of heartbreak and defiance through her music.
Biopic drawiadol o fywyd y gantores Ffrengig Edith Piaf, wedi’i ganoli gan engreifftiau gwych o’i cherddoriaeth a pherfformiad ardderchog oddi wrth Marion Cotillard. Yn ddigartref o oedran cynnar, mabwysiadwyd Piaf gan buteiniaid a dechreuodd ganu i ennill ei bara menyn cyn iddi gael ei gweld gan reolwr clwb nos. Yn ystod ei 47 mlynedd byr llwyddodd i gyflawni gymaint gan gyrraedd at uchelfannau enwogrwydd yn Ffrainc cyn ei marwolaeth annhymig.
