Simone de Beauvoir — Le livre qui a fait trembler tout un siècle | Film documentaire!

Simone de Beauvoir—philosopher, novelist, and major figure of the twentieth century—revolutionized the way we think about freedom, love, and the condition of women. In this biographical documentary, Lucien Darcourt retraces the journey of a child raised in the Parisian bourgeoisie who became one of the most influential and controversial intellectuals of her time. From her pious youth to the loss of her faith, from her profound friendship with Zaza to her triumph in the philosophy agrégation, this film explores the decisive stages of an extraordinary life. We follow the birth of the unique bond that united her with Jean-Paul Sartre, the war years and the Occupation, the glory of the nights in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the passionate affair she experienced across the Atlantic, and then the publication of The Second Sex, the work that scandalized an entire society and inspired generations of women. This portrait also revisits her political commitments, her struggles for decolonization and for women's rights, without glossing over the darker aspects or the debates her life continues to provoke. It concludes with her final years, Sartre's death, and her own farewell, leaving behind a body of work and questions that remain relevant today. Designed as an accessible and rigorous documentary lecture, this account is for anyone who wants to understand, beyond the legend, the woman, her thought, and her era.
