Some performances are so good, we break the very thesis of this podcast in order to discuss them! This week we are queening out on truly a quintessential Best Actress, Marion Cotillard as the eternally tragic Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose." We of course give some time and appreciation to Emmanuelle Seigner and Sylvie Testud as the supporting female characters of the movie, but it's hard to not focus on Cotillard's fully embodied transformation as Piaf from rebellious 20 year street singer to a woman broken down by addiction, illness and grief in her 40's. Along the way we get the Marcel meltdown, the beauty of the beach scene and her triumphant final performance of "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien."
