Audience Member An interesting look at the woman who resided on the Left Bank in Paris after the war. Valuable contribution to films of the early feminist movement and the influencers of that period. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid documentary. Great archival shots of Paris and audio clips from such as Gertrude Stein. Giselle Freund is fascinating to listen to. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Check out my review at www.btchflcks.com! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great documentary for anyone who is interested in the literary scene in Paris between the wars. It was great to see emphasis placed on the women who don't often get as much attention but were still important. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
