    Displacement and self-portraiture in Louis Malle’s Vie privée

    1In Louis Malle’s 1962 Vie privée, Brigitte Bardot is placed into a fictional world where she plays a character, Jill, whose life closely resembles Bardot’s experiences as a celebrity. But the film, one of the few that Malle did not have total control over, developed a monstrous quality as its production mimicked the exaggerated life of Bardot.
