When I was in secondary school my French teacher took me to a film, which I consider now like one of the best films I have ever seen. Probably because of the matter and the main hero. Since I was a child I have been fond of listening to the songs of Edith Piaf. The film about "La Môme" entitled "Je ne regrette rien" was produced by Olivier Dahan. Here you have an extract:

The film shows her gripping life history, full of big obstacles and miracles, but in general very tragic and difficult. There are also real records of her performances, which improve the authenticity and the value -almost documentary- of the creation. The actress, the details, the composition and the music are really remarkable.
Before watching it I didn't know such a lot number of details about my favourite singer. For me she is an example proving that one must know how to use one's talent to achieve one's goal eventually. She loved singing and that was the simple way to happiness for her.
I recommend this film to you, it will be good to be prepared for many emotions while watching it, because the movie is incredible, moving, exciting, inspiring but also entertaining. Enjoy!
