Simone: Woman of the Century

This movie manages to captivate me for two and a half hours. Touching from the first to the last minute. I knew nothing about Simone Veil, now I adore her. The staging and acting are unique, the decidedly unconventional script is courageous in its dramaturgy and - contrary to what many here in the reviews think - I think it works quite well with all its time jumps. The history of Judaism in the 20th century and also the history of democracy and the importance of the European Union are reflected through a very personal point of view. Although I have seen a lot of movies on the subject, I learned a lot. An unconditional recommendation!
