Princesse Europe

A cerebral, talky road documentary that follows a self-assured intellectual campaigning across Europe, mixing theatre and politics into a thoughtful, slow-moving essay.

Directed by

Camille Lotteau

Genres

Documentary

Starring

Bernard-Henri Lévy

Overview

During the 2019 European election campaign, Bernard-Henri Levy sets out to save Europe by travelling across the continent with a play written and performed by him. The film follows the relentless defender of the EU along the roads of some 20 intertwined countries, but also goes out of the theatres to meet situations and faces. The black and white aplomb of the character BHL underlines, in contrast, the colourful dress of Princess Europe, whose frail fabric is woven of unevenly distributed wealth, memories of war and promises of struggle.
