a strong recommendation

I was fascinated to watch the story of Edith Piaf's life in the new film, 'La Vie en Rose.' After seeing the film and almost weeping over the devastatingly sorrowful life Piaf seemed to have lived, I researched a little bit more into her story to compare with the film; the film was fairly accurate. Piaf's life seemed destined for heartache from the start and nothing seemed able to change its path. I strongly recommend seeing the film for its beauty, its mostly accurate portrayal of such a well-known (though people may not recognize it), talented performer and for the music. The movie ends (almost ironically) with a song that translates "No, no regrets, No, I regret nothing...to hell with the past." In light of all you see in the film, this song cannot leave you sensing that it was possible for her to truly regret nothing.
