Julia at Cinema Art Theater
December 2, 2021
Starts Wednesday, November 24
Julia is a delicious documentary about America’s first female food icon.
From Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West (RBG, My Name is Pauli Murray), Julia brings to life the legendary cookbook author and television superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even women. Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, 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 (1961) which has sold more than 2.5 million copies to date, and charts her rapid ascent to become the country’s most unlikely television star. It’s the empowering story of a woman who found her purpose – and her fame – at 50, and took America along on the whole delicious journey. [2021, US, 95 min, Rated: PG-13]
Glenn Kenny of The New York Times writes, “Julia is an apt tribute to a life well-lived and well-fed.” Andy Crump of Paste Magazine remarks, “Thoroughly enjoyable, brimming with things to say, constructed in a manner that ducks pretense for relatability.”
