France/Czech Republic/UK/2007/140 mins/subtitled/12A. Dir Olivier Dahan. With Marion Cotillard, Gerard Depardieu, Sylvie Testud.

A street singer raised in a brothel, accused of murder, temporarily blinded, who battled with drink, drugs and men, Edith Piaf had a tragic life, out of which came the most extraordinarily beautiful music and a determination to sing at all costs.

A final big-screen chance to see Marion Cotillard who deservedly won an Oscar for her heartbreaking central performance as the legendary icon, mimicking Piaf’s every gesture with unnerving accuracy.

"The music of Edith Piaf and Cotillard's transition from alley cat to arthritic wreck make Olivier Dahan's love-letter to the 'Little Sparrow' a must-see" – Channel 4
