Plot
After achieving fame as a movie star, a woman retreats from the world and seeks private life, but media keep hunting her.
Sinekatalog’s take
Louis Malle's drama, La Vie privée, with Brigitte Bardot and Marcello Mastroianni, is melancholy and semi-autobiographical in spirit, about fame.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
