What a life! What a biopic! Sumptuous, rapturous, full of drama and relationships, Sarah Bernhardt’s life is here to be experienced in all its theatrical glory – just as La Divine intended. So big a life it's broken into 3 different time periods for this film.
Sarah Bernhardt (Sandrine Kiberlain also in Love Boat!) was larger than life, kept a menagerie, had a son who couldn't look after money--her money-- and knew a roll call of 20th Century icons . The original theatre diva, her world was blinding stage lights, opulent wealth, and delicious scandals. Ruled by fleeting fancies and sweeping emotions, she even holds court from her sickbed.
