Title: amazing career, tragic life
Product review: This is a mesmerizing biopic of a great singer's life. Cotillard so utterly transforms herself that there is no other word than astonishing: though sometimes with the flower of youth, she ages horribly with drugs, alcohol, and arthritis. The film flits from age to age, offering glimpses of her extraordinary luck and setbacks, all with the talent of her voice as constant. I was completely absorbed into her life events, Paris of both the lower and upper classes, and her career and deterioration. Totally believable with perfect casting of outstanding actors.Though I have never listened to her music, this film brought me into exactly what she had to say in her own way. The music is wonderful as is the evocation of the times.Warmly recommended.
