Translation - Love anyone and have it all torn away from you, over and over and over again.
Watched this film tonight with my mom on our 10 ft screen. Wow! Nothing like being totally depressed while watching a film and NOT being able to just get up and leave.
A great film that chronicles a completely hard and trying life. She seemed to embody that Japanese proverb "Fall down seven, get up eight."
Of course, she looked like 84 at 44, but other than THAT, she held up well - so what if liver cancer finally killed her a day before Jean Cocteau died?
The film skips around a bit, and there are large chunks of time that seem to be missing, but all in all it still manages to makes sense out of her non-sensical life.
A persistent, driven lady through it all, even if she was a bit damaged - but then don't those seem to be the truly talented ones in the end?
I was a big Edith fan before this (can't study french for 11 years without being some sort of fan), and even more so after seeing this film. Reality is truly a matter of perception.
