The True Story of Tamara de Lempicka & The Art of Survival

A hypnotic journey through the life of Art Deco icon Tamara Lempicka. From the dazzling Paris of the 1920s, through her escape from war to the United States, to a spectacular renaissance on the art market, this is the story of a woman who turned luxury and sensuality into a strategy for survival.

Director Julie Rubio reveals Lempicka as a bisexual Jewish woman, a refugee and a master of self-creation. In the shadow of the turbulent history of the twentieth century, the artist continually reinvented herself – boldly, uncompromisingly and entirely on her own terms.

This is a film about art as a tool of resistance, about identity, and about a strength that refuses compromise. Sensual, visually dazzling and deeply inspiring, it is a portrait of a woman who was always one step ahead of her time.
