Summary:
A profoundly illuminating exploration of Jean Seberg₂s career from the brilliant filmmaker Mark Rappaport. Mary Beth Hurt portrays JeanSeberg, who reflects on her life as it is illustrated through her work. It follows her as she is plucked from obscurity to star in Otto Preminger's Saint Joan (1957), to the critical drubbing that followed, her resurrection as a star in Godard's Breathless (1960) and through her death in 1979. A revelatory interrogation of film history, and women's place in it, that examines Seberg₂s involvement with the Black Panther Movement while also touching on the careers of Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, and Clinst Eastwood.
