The New Wave was essentially masculine. You know instinctively that to exist in men’s eyes, you have to fit their fantasies.” —Bernadette Lafont
Sex symbol, feminist icon, devoted mother: French actress Bernadette Lafont was a multi-faceted performer, who refused to be boxed into one role.
In BERNADETTE LAFONT: AND GOD CREATED THE FREE WOMAN, director Esther Hoffenberg tells Lafont’s story through carefully selected film clips spanning her career — from iconic roles in the New Wave films of Truffaut and Chabrol, to her award-winning turn in Paulette, playing a drug-dealing grandmother.
