First Trailer for JULIA Details the Life of the Original Celebrity Chef Julia Child

“Julia was more than a cook, she was a natural force.”

A new trailer has been released for the documentary film Julia, which chronicles the life and career of the dynamic and endearing Julia Child. She was the first celebrity chef, and she brought classic French cuisine to the average American household.

The doc was directed and produced by filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West, who directed the 2018 documentary RBG, garnering two Oscar nominations for beautifully telling the story of the life of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Here’s the synopsis for Julia:

JULIA tells the story of the legendary cookbook author and television superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and even about women. Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child’s surprising path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961) which has sold more than 2.5 million copies to date, to her empowering story of a woman who found fame in her 50s, and her calling as an unlikely television sensation.

This looks like a fantastic doc with a ton of great footage of the chef who birthed the industry of cooking on TV. Check out the trailer below, and stay tuned for its release date.
