Interesting
stories about the film
1. Director Olivier Dahan noticed
that the eyes of Édith Piaf and Marion Cotillard were similar, so before he had
even met her, he wrote the script with Marion Cotillard in mind as Édith Piaf.
2. This film made Marion Cotillard
the first French actress to win an Oscar for a French-language film.
3. It is the third highest-grossing
French-language film in the United States since 1980, following Amélie (2001)
and Le pacte des loups (2001).

and Édith Piaf: Une brève rencontre (1993).
