Based on the novel by Édouard Louis
With novels like “The End of Eddy” and “History of Violence”, the shooting star of the French novel, Édouard Louis, has reinvented nothing less than an entire genre: autofiction. He addresses classism, homophobia, chauvinism and xenophobia. In his manifesto “Who Killed My Father”, he denounced the effects of neoliberal politics on his father’s abused body. With “A Woman’s Battles and Transformations”, he traces the biography of his mother Monique Belleguelle. With subtle self-criticism, Louis reflects on the force of role models and recounts his mother’s touching, heroic journey: how she liberates herself from her toxic family in the provinces, how she finds a new life and a new love in Paris and how she eventually smokes a cigarette with Catherine Deneuve.
