    Violette Leduc, in Pursuit of Love

    Esther HOFFENBERG 2013 France Documentary color 56min French DigiBeta
    Homosexuality, abortion, bastardness, she confronted all of the 50's taboo to pics without any hypocrisy. Violette Leduc's “ intrepid sincerity " brought her admiration and support from Simone de Beauvoir. Almost 50 years after the public success of The Bastard, the strength of Violette Leduc's books remains intact, as well as her original personality. Inspired by Violette's poetic style, the film draws the portrait of a
    great author ahead of her time.
