The Last Days of an Icon: Edith Piaf

2006 · 51 min · Documentary, History

Piaf’s life is a legend, a tale, a story so powerful that one might end up asking oneself if it really existed. Beyond the icon, there is the woman the documentary talks about, a fragile figure with an extraordinary personality. A street girl who experienced fame, love and who died almost clandestinely in a rented house in the south of France.

Directed by Philippe Pichon
