Les Amants du Flore (The Lovers of Flore) is a 2006 French TV film, directed by Ilan Duran Cohen, about the relationship between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir beginning with their university years, then the following 20 years through the wartime, post-war fame and publication of Le Deuxième Sexe.[1] [2] It was made in April 2006 and broadcast on France 3 on 6 September 2006.[3]
In 1924 Simone de Beauvoir is a brilliant, but reserved young girl, who prepares to study philosophy at the Sorbonne university. Only fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre (who calls her 'Castor') recognizes her talent and intellect. Meanwhile, De Beauvoir also explores her bisexuality.[4]
