“Julia” Trailer

 

Julia is inspired by Julia Child’s extraordinary life and her long-running television series, ‘The French Chef,’ which pioneered the modern cooking show. Through Julia’s life and her? joie de vivre, the series explores a pivotal time in American history – the emergence of public television as a new social institution, feminism and the women’s movement, the nature of celebrity and America’s cultural evolution. At its heart, the series is a portrait of a loving marriage with a shifting power dynamic.

This video originally appeared on A Julia Child TV Series Is Coming to HBO Max (And We Couldn’t Be Happier).
