La Vie En Rose

A striking beauty, Cotillard shaved her eyebrows and hairline to play Edith Piaf. But the physical transformation is only part of what makes her performance remarkable. Her Piaf is crass, funny, vulnerable — everything that endeared her to her fans. When the actress mimes ''Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien'' with uncanny precision, she even turns lip-synching into an art. — Missy Schwartz
