Der Film „Und immer lockt das Weib“ wurde 1956 zum Skandalerfolg und brachte Brigitte Bardot weltweiten Ruhm, sie stand für alles, was französisch und verboten war. Für den Vatikan galt die Bardot für viele Jahre als Inbegriff der Sünde. Im Gegensatz dazu verkörperte sie für die französische Nation 1969 die „Marianne“, das Symbol der Freiheit. Der Bildband präsentiert viele Privatfotos, Dokumente und Höhepunkte einer schillernden Filmkarriere. Brigitte Bardot was the first official face of Marianne, the figure synonymous with the liberty of France. She became one of the most famous faces of French cinema during the 50s and 60s and set the world alight when she appeared in „And God Created Woman“ in 1956. Working with some of the most revered film directors in the world,including Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle, as well as appearing with such luminaries as Kirk Douglas and Sean Connery Bardot has had as colourful a life off screen as she has on. Four times married – her husbands were Roger Vadim, Jacques Charrier (by whom she had a son) and Gunter Sachs – Bardot retired from films in 1973, determined to “get out elegantly”. Bardot’s life and career are examined in this beautifully illustrated book.weiterlesen
