 This is the story of Violette Leduc, a struggling French writer who became the voice of her generation in post-WW2 France.  The film focuses on her intense relationship with her mentor, Simone de Beauvoir, an already-successful French author. This candid, turbulent, and beautifully crafted film ranks among the best foreign language films of the year.

“Compelling, even thrilling.”

-Los Angeles Times
