Project Detail

She's French

Synopsis

Put the word ‘French’ before ‘woman’ and we think of a feminine ideal, perpetuated by newspaper and magazine articles and in books that sell millions of copies around the world. This film poses the question does ‘she’ exist or have we invented her and if so why? Pitching real, every day, French women in London and Paris alongside experts from the worlds of fashion, film, education, politics and journalism, the film explores the myths and truths, stereotypes and startling omissions in search of the identity of the modern femme française.
