I think her best role so far is linked to the release of her first album, which was unfortunately doomed to be soon overplayed, and as the result, BLAH. However, the very first time it was introduced, it sounded incredible; her voice was surprisingly good, the melodies astoundingly personal, and the lyrics, well that was just a total shocker. For some reason when I left the cinema tonight "Quelqu’un m’a dit" the big hit from a few years ago kept playing in my head. Funny. I mean it's not even in the movie. The film was perfectly amusing, and she did look beautiful in the brief cameo and all (though rumor has it, she was a pill to direct), but that song, though not related, evoked something of the film actually, a certain sentimentality. I just couldn't get it out of my head. So here is the song and the translation - which is never as good as the real thing, but it roughly gets the point across. Voila.....

Carla Bruni at Midnight in Paris
I saw Midnight in Paris tonight, and it was perfectly enchanting. So many of my favorite places, so many of my favorite eras, and incredible personas: Toulouse Lautrec, Gaugin, Hemingway, Picasso, Stein, ...Carla Bruni? I still can't get over this woman's multiple lives; a model, heart breaker, singer, actress, first lady! Not everything she has done inspires me, but her versatility does inspire me greatly!
