Brigitte Bardot Forever

2022 · 121 min

A dreamy, slow-burning blend of childhood memory and cinematic fantasy, where political tension and wistful longing drift together.

Overview: Inspired by the tale of Telemachus in Homer’s Odyssey, young Adam’s mother is persecuted by the state police because his father fought in WWII as a pilot before disappearing. Adam fantasizes about his father and one day, while watching Godard’s Contempt in the cinema, finds himself transported into the dressing room of Brigitte Bardot and into a world where he meets a coterie of her contemporary celebrities.
