I have a thing for biopics about musicians. The latest I just saw was the movie about Edith Piaf La Vie En Rose, for which the actress who played her won the Oscar for Best Actress.
As for her, it's rare to see an actor so enveloped in a character that you don't think of the actor who plays her. So, if you want to see a movie just for a brilliant performance, I'd say check it out.
As for the movie itself, I had a hard time really getting into it. I was making a concerted effort to understand the French (it's a French flick) while reading the subtitles. Also, watching what is essentially a depressing movie like this probably works better when it's rainy and cold outside than when it's during the middle of a heat wave.
I really need to dust off my French...
