Judith Therpauve is a French drama film directed by Patrice Chéreau.

Plot

Therpauve Judith, who was "Queen" in the days of the Resistance, is asked by her former friends to take charge of the daily regional newspaper "The Free Republic". She quickly realizes that the poor financial health of the newspaper is orchestrated by a businessman who wants to buy it back at a low price. Judith manages to drive up sales, but unfair maneuvers succeed and they are forced to sell. Feeling useless and alone, and with little support from her staff, she commits suicide.
