A Woman in White Revolts

1966 · 106 min

A sober, talky French drama that weighs a woman's choices against small-town judgment, feeling more like a moral debate than a story.

Overview: Preparing her gynecology thesis, Claude Sauvage, at the urging of a village doctor, Vincent Ferrière, agrees to replace him for a few days. During this time, she took it upon herself to abort the schoolteacher, who was afraid of giving birth to a handicapped child. But an anonymous letter denounces her, and she goes on trial.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Morality, justice, gender, isolation
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
