SHE’S FRENCH explores the global fascination with the so-called “French woman” — chic, effortless, cinematic and endlessly marketed. Through interviews with everyday French women and contributors from fashion, film, politics, journalism and education, the film challenges the myths around la femme française and asks whether this ideal is less French reality than foreign invention.

Rialto Recommends SHE’S FRENCH is a stylish, intelligent and timely look at one of culture’s most persistent fantasies. Moving between London and Paris, the film strips back the clichés of effortless chic to reveal something richer, messier and more modern. It is a smart watch for anyone interested in fashion, film, feminism and the stories we tell about women.
