Bardot Amoureuse
★ 9.52017
MovieDocumentary
Filmmakers, writers, and photographers have dissected her from every angle. Because she is a myth, and always will be. we have examined the life of Brigitte Bardot through a dimension of her life that she displayed and championed: love. Because her frenetic quest for love reveals her, in the midst of her glory and her wounds, better than any linear biographical account. Her life—her childhood, her many lovers, the love-hate relationship the public felt for her, her ties to cinema—her entire life can be read through this prism. An exceptional 111-minute documentary about the woman who remains the unrivaled French star. The absolute icon who was one of the most loved, admired, criticized, and scrutinized women on the planet. And who, for twenty years, until she abandoned cinema to dedicate herself to animal rights, inspired a mixture of hatred and adoration.
