Violette out on DVD in August (Contact Film)

02nd of August 2014, 17:31

In August Contact Film will release Violette on DVD.

Director: Martin Provost

Stars: Emmanuelle Devos, Sandrine Kiberlain, Olivier Gourmet 

 

Violette Leduc, born a bastard at the beginning of last century, meets Simone de Beauvoir in the years after the war in St-Germain-des-Prés. Then begins an intense relationship between the two women that will last throughout their lives, relationship based on the quest for freedom by writing to Violet and conviction for Simone to have in their hands the fate of an extraordinary writer.

 

"French director Martin Provost returns to the first-name female biopic genre with Violette, a film that stumbles out of the starting blocks but slowly transforms into a beautifully crafted and performed period film that illuminates the life – and especially the inner life – of French author Violette Leduc." - The Hollywood Reporter

 

"Emmanuelle Devos triumphs in this sharply observed yet sympathetic biopic of a trailblazing feminist author." - Variety

 

"Meticulously art-directed - the clothes are a knockout - the film is told in six sections, each named after an important influence on Leduc. Lit lovers will get off on the portrayals of Jean Genet and Maurice Sachs and the burgeoning scene in Paris at the time." - NowToronto.com

 

DUTCH VERSION

In Augustus brengt Contact Film Violette uit op dvd.

Violette Leduc wordt begin vorige eeuw geboren als bastaarddochter van een dienstmeid. Ze brengt haar jeugd door op een streng internaat en kent een jeugd van extreme liefde en haat. Wanneer ze na een jarenlange zoektocht haar pen vindt, keert het tij. Na de oorlog ontmoet ze, Simone de Beauvoir in Saint-Germain-des-Prés en vanaf dat moment bloeit er een intense relatie tussen de twee vrouwen die hun hele leven zal duren. Deze vriendschap laat Violette toe te zoeken naar haar vrijheid en Simone die ontdekt dat ze een buitengewone schrijfster gevonden heeft.
