ABOUT THE FILM
LOOKING FOR SIMONE
Nathalie Masduraud &amp; Valérie Urréa / France / 2024 / 90’

LOOKING FOR SIMONE dissects the origins and relevance of this bible of feminism, charting de Beauvoir’s fact-finding journey across the US to research her book. This documentary is not a hagiography, nor is it just a look back; it’s a conversation with the present. Featuring reflections from today’s leading feminist thinkers – Judith Butler and Silvia Federici – it honors both the lasting influence of de Beauvoir’s work, while also exploring the blind spots and limitations. The film challenges us to assess how far we’ve come in the fight for gender equality and where we still need to go. LOOKING FOR SIMONE expands upon de Beauvoir’s foundational work, weaving in 75 years of evolving thought on race and gender. It invites viewers into a new era of feminist revolution – one that is joyfully non-binary, unapologetically free, and radically inclusive.

A PROPOS DU FILM
LOOKING FOR SIMONE
Nathalie Masduraud &amp; Valérie Urréa / France / 2024 / 90’

LOOKING FOR SIMONE dissèque les origines et la pertinence de cette bible du féminisme, retraçant le voyage d’enquête de Simone de Beauvoir à travers les États-Unis pour documenter son livre. Ce documentaire n’est ni une hagiographie, ni un simple regard rétrospectif ; c’est une conversation avec le présent. Présentant les réflexions des principales penseuses féministes d’aujourd’hui – Judith Butler et Silvia Federici – il rend hommage à l’influence durable de l’œuvre de Simone de Beauvoir, tout en explorant ses angles morts et ses limites. Le film nous invite à évaluer le chemin parcouru dans la lutte pour l’égalité des sexes et celui qu’il nous reste à parcourir. LOOKING FOR SIMONE développe l’œuvre fondamentale de Simone de Beauvoir, en intégrant 75 ans d’évolution de la pensée sur la race et le genre. Il invite les spectateurs à entrer dans une nouvelle ère de révolution féministe, joyeusement non binaire, sans complexe et radicalement inclusive.
