Impoverished Violette Leduc finds a mentor in best-selling author Simone de Beauvoir, who champions her work and encourages her art. But while the two become life long friends, Violette yearns for something more. The movie takes place after WWII until the late 1950's. Very dark movie about a real French author. Lots of perspective on the rights of women. It is definitely for the intellectual type who likes touchy feely. I give is a 6+. Stars Emmanuelle Devos, Sardrine Kiberlain, Catherine Hiegel, Oliver Py.
