Camille Claudel is a visually stunning film that focuses the gifted sculptor, who was the mistress of Auguste Rodin, and who became a victim of her family's mixed feelings about her talent, pride, and vindictiveness. The film nobly depicts the self-reliant Camille’s difficulties expressing her imagination in a man's world.
"12.9.
Alkaa ihan kivalla kamerankäytöllä, mutta tyyli muuttuu turhan pelkistetyksi edetessä. Loppupuolella Adjani pääsee varastamaan shown täysin ja loistaa paniikkihuutokohtauksissaan, mutta sitä ennen kestoa on liikaa. Gerard Depardieu ei vielä ole pienen henkilöauton kokoinen."
"Original Title: 'Camille Claudel'
Directed by: Bruno Nuytten
With: Gérard Depardieu, Isabelle Adjani
Plot: Biography of Camille Claudel. Her enthusiasm impresses already-famous sculptor Auguste Rodin. He hires her as an assistant, but soon Camille begins to sculpt for herself and for Rodin. She also becomes his mistress.
Note: Back in those days, Isabelle Adjani was probably the best French actress. Here, she works with Gérard Depardieu, the best French actor of the last 30 years."
