Looking for Simone(2024)

Looking for Simone is a documentary exploring the life and legacy of philosopher Simone de Beauvoir and her groundbreaking 1949 work, The Second Sex. The film traces de Beauvoir's research journey across America, examining how her analysis of women's oppression shaped modern feminism. Director Sébastien Lifshitz balances admiration for de Beauvoir's revolutionary thinking with honest scrutiny of her blind spots and contradictions. By connecting her mid-century insights to contemporary women's issues, the film asks whether her foundational feminist text remains relevant today. A thoughtful portrait of an intellectual giant and the enduring power—and limitations—of her ideas.
