Key Information
Title: Et Dieu... créa la femme (And God Created Woman)
Release Year: 1956
Director: Roger Vadim
Starring: Brigitte Bardot, Curd Jürgens, Jean-Louis Trintignant
Genre: Romantic Drama
Synopsis: The film is set in Saint-Tropez and tells the story of an 18-year-old orphan, Juliette Hardy (Brigitte Bardot), whose provocative sensuality attracts three different men: a wealthy, older man and two brothers. She loves one brother but, in a fit of spite, marries the other, leading to significant drama and a violent struggle between the siblings.
Impact: The film was a massive commercial success, particularly in the United States, where it pushed the boundaries of cinematic sexuality and helped make Brigitte Bardot a global sex symbol and an icon of the sexual revolution.

The artwork uses warm colors like orange and yellow to highlight the film's atmosphere and its star, Brigitte Bardot. The design focuses on Bardot's image and contrasts it with the faces of the male characters in the background, aiming to capture the film's essence and its impact on Bardot's career.
