Inhalt: Designed as a sort of meta-film in which Jeanne Balibar is an actress playing Barbara in a film made by an obsessed director - Mathieu Amalric doing double duty as actor and director -- the movie lightly plumbs that dangerously unsettled space between performing and literally being the protagonist in a biopic. 'Barbara' is also a tribute to the singer's prodigious talent and her undminished emotional pull.
