The story

What Is From the Journals of Jean Seberg About?

The premise of From the Journals of Jean Seberg without spoilers.

Mark Rappaport’s inventive bio‑pic portrays actress Jean Seberg in a first‑person, autobiographical style, weaving cinema, politics, American culture and film theory. It covers her marriages, key film roles, Black Panther involvement and FBI surveillance, and notes French New Wave, Russian Expressionist cinema and peers like Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave and Clint Eastwood. Though partly conjectural, it urges a rethink of women’s role in film.
