Brigitte Bardot Remains ‘Mysterious’ Even as She Opens up on Camera in the Doc ‘Bardot’ Says Director Alain Berliner (EXCLUSIVE) – Trailer


Brigitte Bardot remains shrouded in mystery even as she partly opens up on camera in the doc 'Bardot,' says director Alain Berliner.

Now aged 90, Bardot opens up the gates of her La Madrague estate in Saint-Tropez, where she lives surrounded by horses, dogs, geese and donkeys and speaks candidly, especially when it comes to her love for animals. She was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir’s 1959 essay “The Lolita Syndrome,” which described her as a “locomotive of women’s history,” and built on existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France. In a rare television interview Bardot recently spoke out in support of Gérard Depardieu, days after the actor was convicted of sexually assaulting two women during a 2021 film shoot.
