The Many Lives of Édouard Louis review: A deeply personal and immersive perspective from a writer

'Who is Eddy Bellegueule?' The new documentary The Many Lives of Édouard Louis, which premiered at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, tells the story of this French author through him. The Many Lives of Édouard Louis premiered at CPH:DOCX. As interesting and fascinating it is to hear the subject talking about identity politics, sexuality and dispossession, The Many Lives takes time to expand on these ideas through images and references. Still, The Many Lives of Édouard Louis works, following the author in a resolutely unsentimental and clinical approach.
