Description Ginette Vincendeau analyses Bardot's rise to fame as a highly-acclaimed French international film star and fashion icon from her early days as a fashion model and ballet dancer to her period of 'high stardom' between 1956 and 1960.
In this original and illuminating study, Ginette Vincendeau explores Brigitte Bardot's complex and revolutionary image of femininity, her film career and her lasting and controversial celebrity. Analyzing all Bardot's output, encompassing popular comedies and melodramas, work with New Wave directors Louis Malle and Jean-Luc Godard, and international productions such as Dear Brigitte (1965) and Shalako (1968), Vincendeau shows how Bardot's enduring fame is based on her status as a sexual, lifestyle, musical, and fashion role model and even an icon of national identity. Finally, she considers the ageing Bardot's continued prominence in popular culture, arguing that, as well as a glamorous film star, Bardot was one of the inventors of modern celebrity.
Ginette Vincendeau is Professor of Film Studies at the University of Warwick. She is the author or editor of numerous publications including "The Encyclopedia of European Cinema, Stars and Stardom in French Cinema, Pepe le Moko, " and (with Alastair Phillips), the forthcoming "Journeys of Desire: European Actors in Hollywood."
