While the
soundtrack to the 2007
Edith Piaf biography,
La Vie en Rose (aka
La Môme) -- which features a fantastic performance by
Marion Cotillard as
the Sparrow -- doesn't include only
Piaf songs (that's only the first third), the rest of the album, filled out by pieces from the
original score and versions of some of her songs (
"Les Hiboux," "Mon Homme"), doesn't do a bad job of conveying the sentiments -- passion, agony, etc. -- of the film. Of course, if
Edith Piaf is what you want, an actual
Edith Piaf collection is in store, not this, but if you loved the movie,
La Vie en Rose (or
La Môme) isn't a bad option.
