20095 min 53 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Monique LeBlanc
Production: Jacques Turgeon
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation.
Combining interviews with Édith's teachers, admirers and musical peers, as well as exhilarating footage from 40 years of performing, director Monique Leblanc's film captures Édith's moving artistry. A master showwoman, Édith is always in flight, singing, playing, her long hair flying, with an epic grin on her face, covering everything from the softest lament to the most rollicking infectious footstomper.
