| The story of a woman drifting between desire and convention on a journey of self discovery.
Writer-director Regis Wargnier's personal portrayal of his mother's life is visually seductive and strikingly crafted.
Set between 1939 and 1954, during the French occupation of Berlin, Indochina and Algeria, a woman decides to stop waiting and live independently. Emmanuelle Beart stars as Jeanne, a woman who discovers the impulsive nature and curious ingenuity of love and eventually becomes carried away by its pleasures.
Secret developments, explosions, misgivings, and all the complexities of love are found in Regis Wargnier's "A French Woman".
