“Who is Jean Seberg?” a reporter asks the eponymous movie star midway through “Seberg,” attempting to close a puffy promotional interview for “Paint Your Wagon” …

,” attempting to close a puffy promotional interview for “Paint Your Wagon” with some semblance of personal insight. She doesn’t get to answer, as Seberg’s publicist swiftly calls time on the question: “Let’s just keep it about the movie,” he instructs. It’s one of many moments in’ slick, diverting portrait in which Seberg is shown to be treated as a product, a pawn or a patsy, handled by men in their own best interests rather than hers.

Cut to 1968, where Seberg — now Paris-based and married to French novelist and filmmaker Romain Gary — is attempting a Hollywood comeback.

A fragile screen goddess in peril, then, her arc crossed with that of a government man undergoing a change of heart: It’s the stuff of perfectly engrossing fiction, yet hardly the most exciting way to frame a life with as many political and personal pressure points as Seberg’s short, doomed one.

Venice Film Review: Roman Polanski’s ‘J’Accuse (An Officer and a Spy)’“I don’t separate the man from the art. I think that important aspects of the work emerge in the man.” So said Lucrecia Martel, the Argentine filmmaker and president of this year’s Venice Film Fest… Dude's a child rapist, there's your review Polanski? Nope In a certain way, it IS about him. Given his life story as a child during WWII, it's understandable that he can relate to what happened to Colonel Dreyfus.
