Format : 6 x 52min

In the early 50s, Brigitte Bardot, daughter of a good family, meets Roger Vadim. After shooting And God… created the woman, she will become Bardot, THE first french super star. First decried, Brigitte is quickly considered as an icon of French glamour, and a precursor on the issues of sexual liberation. She embodies these struggles in spite of her, undergoing a new status of super star chased by the media and adored by the crowds.

Our take

Danièle and Christopher Thompson retrace the early years of French film icon, Brigitte Bardot. A vintage gem for film-lovers with a golden cast including Julia de Nunez in her first major part, and the great Victor Belmondo as Roger Vadim.
