EFF: Simone: Woman of the Century

"Splendidly portrayed... weaves a sensory narrative based on lasting emotional echoes." - Screendaily

The extraordinary life of French feminist icon Simone Veil is brought to the silver screen in this moving and monumental biopic from director Olivier Dahan (La Vie en rose).

A box office smash hit in its native France, Simone Veil offers an intimate and epic portrait of a singular woman - Holocaust survivor, human rights advocate and politician - who eminently challenged and transformed her era while defending a humanist message still keenly relevant today.
