A Gorgeous Girl Like Me
Directed by François Truffaut
Produced by Columbia Films, Les Films du Carrosse
A darkly comic, intellectually playful examination of a charming sociopath told through the unreliable recollections of a woman who may or may not be guilty, blending sociology with seduction.
Young sociologist Stanislas Previne is writing a thesis on criminal women, so he visits Camille Bliss in prison for an interview. Accused of murdering her husband and her lover, Camille recounts her life and love affairs.
