A swirling, impressionistic portrait of an artist who regretted nothing: the legendary french icon Edith Piaf. The tragic story of the world-famous chanteuse is worthy of a 19th century novel. From mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York?s most famous concert halls, Piaf?s life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Born into abject poverty surrounded by street performers, hookers and pimps, Piaf struggled throughout her life, and ultimately became a world star
