| La Vie en Rose | comment |
La Vie en Rose (French title: La Môme) is a 2007 French film directed by Olivier Dahan. It is a romanticized biopic about the glorious and tragic life of French singer Édith Piaf, and stars Marion Cotillard in the leading role, for which she won the Oscar for best actress. It also became one of the only French films to win more than one Oscar, the other being for makeup. The international title comes from what is probably her most famous song, "La Vie en Rose" and the French title comes from her nickname, "la Môme Piaf".The film's narrative structure is a largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Edith Piaf, many of which the audience ultimately learns are evoked as flashbacks from within Edith's own memory as she's dying. Despite the fractured narrative approach, the film is anchored at the beginning by predominance of elements from her childhood, and at the end with the events prior to and surrounding her death. | |

Title Drop | |
| La Vie en Rose / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: For the French title, it happens when Louis Leplée (Gérard Depardieu) chooses Edith's stage name : "La Môme Piaf!". When Edith sings "La Vie en Rose", for the international title. | |

Eiffel Tower Effect | |
| La Vie en Rose / int_191535aa | comment |
Eiffel Tower Effect: Just have a look at the American poster here. In the actual movie, though, it's subverted somewhat. Some of the scenes set in Paris show the Eiffel Tower far off in the distance, as if to underscore that we are in the slums, not the touristy parts of the city. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: There's an incident during Edith's childhood where one of the prostitues she lives with suffers a customer who wanted to "play doctor"; we're never shown exactly what it is he did to her but seeing her colleagues (including even the usually unflappable Madam) clutching themselves suggests You Do Not Want To Know. | |

| La Vie en Rose / int_77063cd7 | comment |
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: All the women in the brothel, but Titine (Emmanuelle Seigner) in particular. She's a young troubled redhead prostitute who becomes emotionally attached to little Edith. She sings to, plays with, and tenderly cares for Edith through her job including an episode of keratitis-induced blindness that is healed through their prayers to St. Thérèse. | |

Oscar Bait: Once she is over 10, there is not a scene with Edith where she is not suffering from her alcoholism, drug addiction, or her many ailments and injuries. As the result it managed to snatch 2 Oscars - the only French film to do so. Plus a long list of other awards. | |

The Scapegoat: In 1936, Edith is wrongly accused of having killed Louis Leplée, her first manager. The police accusation doesn't last long but she's booed by her audiences for some time. | |
