Did you think you knew everything about Edith Piaf? Think again ! This documentary is unique: it offers us the other story of the artist, much less tragic, through private archives never before broadcast. Here is La Môme in her daily life, up close, filmed for a long time by her accordionist Marc Bonel.
Piaf Intimate is told in the form of the imaginary story of Marc Bonel who was part of the singer’s clan for 18 years. He had gotten into the habit of filming the moments off, all these simple little moments of everyday life that Edith loved to watch: the famous picnics dear to her, the meals, the trips, the holidays, and above all the laughter and games, with unconditional love at the center of her life. An omnipresent tribe of friends for those who feared loneliness.
Charles Aznavourwho had a beautiful and long friendship with the singer, becoming in turn her handyman, driver, secretary, lighting designer and also writing songs for her, describes her as young in spirit, always: “That’s the truth of Piaf, that she lived her childhood all her life.”
Nicknamed the boss or the queen by those around her, they describe her as a tyrannical womancontrolling and deciding everything, demanding that one be available for her at all times… but everyone liked to follow her.
