A sumptuous biopic of Sarah Bernhardt, the original theatre diva whose art, scandals and appetites made her the world’s first celebrity.
Sarah Bernhardt is larger than life: a theatrical force of glamour, contradiction and scandal. From blinding stage lights and opulent salons to exotic menageries, consuming affairs and dramatic reinventions, THE DIVINE SARAH BERNHARDT captures the chameleonic actress who defied convention, inspired artists and writers, and turned her own life into a performance.
Rialto Recommends
THE DIVINE SARAH BERNHARDT is a lavish, flamboyant portrait of an artist who knew exactly how to command a room, a stage and an era. Sumptuous, witty and deliciously dramatic, it revels in the myth-making of a woman who lived as boldly as she performed. For lovers of grand biopics, theatrical excess and unapologetic divas, this is pure Belle Époque pleasure.
