Betsy West, Julie Cohen | Documentary | USA | 2021 | 95m
An empowering story of a woman who found fame in her 50s, Julia documents the life of the legendary cookbook author and TV superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even about women. Using never-before-seen archival footage and personal photos, first-person narratives, and mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child's 12 year struggle to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her rapid ascent to become the USA’s most unlikely television star.
"Lots of footage from her earliest PBS shows in the 1960s plus luscious recreations of such staples as boeuf bourguignon and pear tart make for irresistible viewing." -Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail
"Julia is full of irresistible clips and interviews with its subject, trilling and burbling with her trademark enthusiasm, reminding her viewers that anything was possible and that mistakes are how cooks learn." -Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
"A leader in America's food movement is rightfully praised and immortalized in a doc that is a pleasure to watch. You can almost smell the Coq au Vin simmering on the stove." -Dwight Brown, National Newspaper Publishers Association
