Have been watching the clip over and over again. Love the effect.
It's every time in every scene the same, but keeps mesmerizing... and just fits the music perfectly.

'A' net station
Based in Antartica, it plays "mostly music by artists who perform internationally, and typically do not to seek the music industry's favor" according to the website and Wikipedia.
It's nice. No idea why it's listed in the "Decades / 70's" listing of the Squeezebox Boom, but still.
For once, a link: http://www.anetstation.com/
La Roux - "Bulletproof"
Catchy. Daft Punk, but better. Kraftwork-ish video, but too many colours. Too many recognizable facial parts, while we're at it.
But catchy.

Leonard Cohen - "Came so far for beauty"
Must have heard it before of course, but didn't really remember it.
As so many of his songs, beautiful. The minor chords after a while, the lyrics.
Simplicity. There is so much to learn.

La vie en rose
Gripping, to say the very least.
Why is it that biographies often tell the bad ending before unfolding the story that led to it? Is it because it is often wellknown and can't be used as a plot-device?
I agree that pretending the ending is "new" isn't the point. Taking the viewer by the hand and making him believe and feel the story, is. Impregnating him with the doom to come adds extra tension? Sure, but it feels a bit forced, because it is so commonly used.
"La vie en rose" differs slightly from this by showing Edith Piaf's end "often" inbetween scenes of her youth and past. It becomes a bit more functional.
It did in no way defer me from the real story or the brilliant acting of Marion Cotillard. She's a diamond in every portrait of la môme piaf.
Harsh story, in which the crying is often drunken revelry, making it all the more painful.
What to do with the singing. A film about one of the greatest voices of mankind cannot be dubbed. So she has to playback. What about singing of which no recording has been made? Scrap it from the script?
