A remake of 8 1/2 is just wrong. It has to be said.

I sadly have yet to see La Vie on Rose. :(

LOVE THIS WOMAN!
La Vie en Rose is good, but the movie itself is nothing expectational or revolutionary.
But Marion on the other hand... Wow. I really can't but it into words.
It is a very well done biopic, and doesn't spell everything out to the viewer. One of the reasons I love foreign films; they treat their audiences as thinkers.
And look at that make-up job! This striking, gorgeous woman is almost unrecognizable in the role.

But Marion Cotillard defines this movie. She IS this movie.
Remember her name, she'll be around for a very very long time.
Sadly though, I think she'll lose the Oscar she deserves to Julie Christie.

A remake of 8 1/2 is beyond wrong. That movie is like a monument of cinema history. Just a godawful idea. Makes me sad. If that happens, what follows? La Dolce Vita? Casablanca? How sad would that be.

you guys do realize that NINE is not a remake of "8-1/2", but a film version of a Broadway musical from the early 80's that was inspired by "8-1/2" ?

It's not EXACTLY a remake of "8 1/2". It's a film version of a Broadway stage musical that's BASED on "8 1/2" called "Nine".

Easily the best female performance in a movie of the year. The others dont even come close.

Fell in love with her in A Good Year and will only see this movie because of her. You could put her in a Glitter remake and I'd watch it.

Marion Cotillard was also really good in A Very Long Engagement. Earning a Cesar nine minutes into it is saying something. She has as much charisma as Amy Adams from "Enchanted". Let's keep a steady eye on this talented actress.

MARION COTTIARD, (ONE:) I don't know you.
(TWO:) I did not know you before you showed up in the OSCARS.
(THREE:) That clip they showed of your movie, "La vie en Rose", when they were announcing your nomination was EXTREMELY LAME and uninteresting.
(FOUR:) I don't think ANYONE is going to see "La vie en Rose", even after being threatened to be shot at blank point range. Everyone is going to wait to see it when it will come on TV and then deliberately MISS IT, going to eat a bad pizza instead.
(FIVE:) They arseholes in the Oscars commitee gave you the BEST ACTRESS AWARD because you were the prettiest actress among the nomanies-- and because the dress you came in wearing on that night was more revealing than those of the other nominees. The HORNY HAGS at the Oscars commitee give the best Actress award to the actress that comes the NUDE'est--- This year it was better (atleast we didn't see your butt-crack as that of Swank's, for instance) in that department. But that's why they gave you that award.
Nobody knows or CARES about this movie-- and that's deliberate.

Explain Helen Mirren's win to me then? and the numerous wins for Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. Dude seriously you're being retarded. Cotillard did a fantastic job and the fact that she's not uneasy on the eyes can't be held against her.
