Am I goal-oriented? Suddenly I wonder if I really am. I know what I want in life but I don't have it clear whether I am so focused. I get excited about challenges but well...
La Vie en Rose, what a great movie! Based on Edith Piaf's biography, the actress transmits the star's magnetic personality, a woman who suffered the loss of practically everyone she ever loved. Incredibly touching story, painful at times, beautifully narrated and an amazing performance by this woman! Any movie based on Piaf's life that will include her songs is already a pleasure to watch, or listen rather. But here the acting is just superb. I guess I need to find out more about both the movie and the actress. The guy at the video shop told me it won this year's Academy Award for best foreign movie, but my hunch is that the actress must have been nominated for best female performer. If she wasn't, she definitely should have been!
Well, I've just checked out the movie online and YES, Marion Cotillard DID get the Oscar for Best Actress, but the movie did not win as best foreign film :(
I watched the last few scenes over twice. What a great movie...

We have this on our Netflix cue already! I'd never heard of her before the nomination.
La vi! La vi hace un par de semanas... Había leído tu review y fue casualidad... otra persona fue quien la eligió para verla, y vino justito! Me encantó! Graaan actriz! Muy cruel en varias partes... pero la verdad que una gran película.
