Synopis:<\/h3>\n

Under her stage name Mata Hari<\/strong> Dutch-born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle<\/strong> (Jeanne Moraeu<\/strong>)\u00a0<\/span>causes a sensation as an erotic nude dancer in Paris during the First World War. She moves in the highest circles and had several wealthy lovers. At a reception hosted by the Countess du Maine, she meets Captain Fran\u00e7ois Lasalle (Jean-Louis Trintignant<\/strong>)<\/span>, who becomes her lover. However, this meeting was no coincidence but was arranged by the German secret service, for which Mata Hari works as a spy. She is supposed to give documents that Fran\u00e7ois carries with him to a contact man while her lover is sleeping. But Mata Hari falls in love with Fran\u00e7ois, who soon proposes to her, but who she rejects, otherwise she would have to give up her espionage activities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Only under pressure does she accept her next assignment.The Germans threaten that something will happen to Fran\u00e7ois if she does not continue to cooperate. She is supposed to steal the plans of a French ammunition depot from a safe. The key to the safe is in the possession of Colonel Pelletier who she is supposed to seduce, so she can take it from him while he is sleeping. The plan succeeds, also thanks to her chauffeur Julien, who is her protector and accomplice. The plans are to be handed over in Barcelona. For the trip Mata Hari has to withdraw money from the bank in Paris, where the French authorities set a trap up for her and arrest her. A military court sentences her to death. Fran\u00e7ois has since been killed by a German patrol and her accomplice Julien has also been arrested. Mata Hari is executed in Vincennes by the French military police.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1561290391124{border-right-width: -15px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”37651″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

She soon became known as a sensitive, differentiated character actress. In 1952 she joint the experimental Th\u00e9\u00e2tre National Populaire<\/strong> by Jean Vilar<\/strong>, who was also the founder of the renowned Avignon Festival<\/strong>, where she also performed.
