With "A woman of today", Robert Guédiguian gives a soft

The film 'Une femme d'aujourd'hui,' directed by Robert Guédiguian, portrays the emotional journey of a woman recovering from a traumatic experience of violence. While the film has a relaxed, almost soap opera-like atmosphere, it manages to capture genuine moments of emotion throughout its narrative. The movie focuses on themes of personal resilience and healing, highlighting the psychological and emotional challenges faced by the protagonist. Despite its casual tone, it succeeds in delivering heartfelt scenes that resonate with viewers. The film aims to shed light on the complexities of trauma and recovery through a sensitive and nuanced portrayal.

French filmmaker Robert Guédiguian’s new movie “Une Femme Aujourd’hui” premiered on October 21, 2026. The film centers on Juliette, a 30-something woman working in finance whose life changes after she experiences an attack. Guédiguian uses his usual cast of actors to critique the illusions of liberalism. The director shifted focus for his 25th film, moving away from the colorful streets of Marseille’s Estaque neighborhood to the soulless towers of the new business district in Joliette. He abandoned his previous themes of struggling activists to present a modern portrayal of a free and independent woman who seems to have everything under control. “Une Femme Aujourd’hui” explores the emotional journey of a woman recovering from sexual violence. Despite its soap opera-like appearance, the film manages to capture genuine moments of emotion. Separately, reports highlighted the aftermath of violent incidents on October 17, which left both police officers and shopkeepers with lasting psychological scars. In Bordeaux, efforts are underway to restore normalcy following the destruction of the famous Rue Sainte-Catherine.
