Bimboland

Watch Bimboland (1998) online — a French comedy directed by Ariel Zeitoun. Cécile is a reserved anthropologist with a quiet crush on her university supervisor; for her thesis on socialites, she goes undercover as one of them, changing everything about how she presents herself to the world.

The longer she stays in character, the harder it becomes to separate the performance from the person — especially once her professor starts paying attention to her new persona instead of the old one. Judith Godrèche and Aure Atika lead the cast, with Gérard Depardieu and Dany Boon in supporting roles. It's lighter than a feature-length gender study has any right to be, and sharper than its tabloid title suggests. Watch Bimboland (1998) online on iFILM.
