About the film:

Sumptuous, rapturous, and full of drama, Sarah Bernhardt’s life is here to be experienced in all its theatrical glory – just as La Divine intended.

Sarah Bernhardt (Sandrine Kiberlain, November, AF FFF23) is larger than life and a cyclone of contradictions. The original theatre diva, her world is blinding stage lights, opulent wealth, and delicious scandals. Ruled by fleeting fancies and sweeping emotions, she even holds court from her sickbed. And what better time to revisit her groundbreaking 19th-century stardom than in recovery from surgery?

Uncover the life of the world’s first celebrity in THE DIVINE SARAH BERNHARDT.
