Madame Rosa is an absolute must see February 24, 2007
For anyone with or whitout compassion, this film will
not leave you unmoved. It will change you as it reasonnates
to your very core, that is, if you have still an once of
humanity left in you. It is simple yet very powerfull.
Simone Signoret is at her best. Il faut aimer

Une telle actrice ne devrait jamais ni vieillir ni disparaitre. Elle est admirable dans ce role ou elle joue son age, sa fin. C'est un prodige d'humanite dans un monde ou plus rien ne tient debout. Elle est la derniere amarre a la quelle se rattache un garcon de quatorze ans. Etre le fils d'une prostituee, c'est dur, meme quand on est en nourrice pour pouvoir grandir. Mais se savoir sans parents dans ce monde deracine c'est encore pire. Et cette madame Rosa melangue a merveille les juifs et les arabes, les Moise et les Mohamed, les Noirs et les Blancs, et elle recree une planete de vie au coeur de sa propre mort, au point que cet enfant de quatorze ans ne veut qu'une seule chose, rester avec elle. L'image du deracinement au coeur meme de l'enracinement de la passion sans laquelle on ne peut pas vivre. Connaitre la passion de l'amour au coeur meme de l'indifference et de la mort. Voila pour un enfant la plus belle experience de toute une vie car on ne l'oublie jamais, meme si on en survit.

RICHLY SATISFYING FILM April 26, 2005
Nothing much to add to the splendid review, below - save for a small, yet important nitpick: Ms Signoret was not born in France, but in Wiesbaden, Germany.
The bitter side of the coin! December 12, 2004

Watch this work . This is without restrictions one of the ten best movies in that decade .
The film plays hard and merciless with the viewer. It is by far one of the most mature drama about the casualities of life ever made .
The story takes place in a children housekeeping whose mothers are living from the prostitution and Madame Rosa takes care of them while they are working .
Obviously they do not know about their mothers job . But the time does not forgive . And eventually one of them will be the dramatic nucleus , because he was left by his father a long time ago . But the time has beaten the spirit of that miserable that now claims for his son .
You will be astonished with the clever answer given by Madame Rosa when the time is over and she had to face with this nasty man .
Simone Signoret , the best actress born in France in the XX Century , once more shone as a radiant star , convincing and extraordinary all along the film .
This is without a shadow of doubt, the sublime masterpiece of Moshe Mizrahi .
