From those who knew Edith Piaf intimately: Their thoughts about "PIAF..Her story..Her songs" starring Raquel Bitton
From MARCEL CERDAN Jr.Paris France
(Son of the late middle weight boxing champion of the world MARCEL CERDAN)
"To see over and over again the film you made in tribute to Edith Piaf is a pleasure I cannot let go of. You have a real talent, not only as a singer but as a storyteller, again BRAVO RAQUEL !"
From Francis Lai, Legendary composer who wrote for Piaf and who wrote the theme song(Les avions sont des oiseaux) in collaboration with Michel Rivgauche for Raquel in "Piaf..Her story..Her songs."
"Raquel, the film is magnifique, I loved it, you did a fantastic job, you should be proud of yourself."
From Rosalie Dubois, famous French chanteuse and a dear friend of Piaf.
"Raquel,today when I think of you, and it's very often, I am very proud of you, I know that Piaf also is proud of you. A thousand Bravos and thank you for your extraordinary film,so right on, so tender!"
From Monique Chauvigny, wife of life long Piaf conductor Robert Chauvigny.
Thank you infinitely for your film"Piaf..Her story..Her songs." You have succeeded in capturing the essence and myth of Edith Piaf with Bravado. What a beautiful interpretation, it's not an easy thing. You have an intonation that reminds me of Edith (It's a compliment coming from me, because we were together so much, being the wife of her conductor. I traveled with her for years.
From Bernard Marchois, curator of the Piaf museum in Paris (Les amis d'Edith Piaf)
What a beautiful gift you gave Edith on her 40th anniversary of her death. The images, the sound, you and us are all PERFECT! It's for us a great honor to know that she is loved and honored in the USA.
From Doris Contet, wife of one of Piaf's favorite composer Henri Contet
I saw the film and it filled my heart with joy. What a magnificent interpretation of "T'es beau tu sais." I have goose pimples! Your film is very important to me and is particularly dear to my heart. Thank you again a thousand times for this gift, it's magnificent!
Movie Review: Superb film, a must see for Piaf fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw "Piaf: her story, her songs" at the Castro Theater in San Francisco with more than a thousand people attending the film, and there were a few hundred more people outside the theater trying to get in to the sold out theater.
It was a superb film, I adored it. Its brilliance comes from the fact that this film about Piaf celebrates her the way her fans long to see her celebrated, through her songs.
Piaf's writers, composers, lovers and friends gathering at a bistro over food and wine and telling intimate stories about their personal relationship with Piaf was quite revealing.
Bitton's performance simply blew me away! I have never felt the emotional power of a singer like that before. Myself along with the entire audience was deeply moved.
It's all in the title "Piaf: her story, her songs", her story told through songs and how brilliantly interpreted!
Raquel Bitton's tribute to Piaf is magical. Her interpretation not imitation stands on its own with Bitton's magnificent renditions that leave you breathless. The emotional grip delivered by Bitton is the essence of the film itself. I could easily imagine that it was the same emotional effect that Piaf had on her audiences which earned her legendary status.
The audience at the Castro theater cried and laughed (and so did I). I am now the proud owner of the DVD which will be a classic forever.
The editorial reviewer mentions that Piaf's son is in the film. Piaf never had a son, he probably meant to say that the son of Marcel Cerdan who was the greatest love of Piaf's life is in the film where he talks about the relationship between his father and Edith Piaf.

Her singing is beautiful and very moving. She is a wonderful reincarnation of Edith Piaf. We enjoy her music tremendously, and we are waiting to hear more from this remarkable talent.

Movie Review: Deeply Touched
Summary: 5 Stars
Through Raquel Bitton's masterful delivery of Piaf's songs, I felt that I was deeply touched by Edith Piaf herself. I cried, learned, and laughed. Raquel Bitton is of Piaf caliber and the most amazing songstress on the scene today!
