lawrenceb56 @Trexian Feb 8 She is brilliant. This is boring. See more 05/18/2020 "Sıkıcı Fransız filmleri"nde bugün :) Minimalist Fransız sineması buysa teşekkürler kalsın. Claudel gibi bir ismi, Rodin'in baş ilhamını al, hikayesini sadece en acı çektiği akıl hastanesiyle sınırlandır, durağan, uzun, teatral ve kasvetli sahnelerle hayal gücümüzü de öldür. Binoche harika da, Claudel böyle mi anlatılır? Bu filme 2 yıldızdan fazla veren arkadaşları o sıkıcı hayatları ile başa başa bırakmak gerek :) See more 07/01/2015 A painful, sad account of Camille Claudel's last years. Much bleaker and more depressing than the 1988 account of her career and relationship with Rodin. Here we have barely a trace of her skill as a sculptor: she picks up a piece of wet earth and molds a figure before throwing it away in anger. And she draws flowers on the borders of letters she sends to her devout brother and a longago friend. She is left in paranoia and misery in the midst of the inhabitants of an insane asylum in Provence. This portrayal of the beautiful region will not encourage tourism. Convinced she is being poisoned, Camille lives on water and a daily potato she cooks herself. She helps with the other patients, who are portrayed by actual mental patients, which adds to the poignancy and tragedy of the movie. Her priggish brother, a famous Catholic poet and playwright whose works I have never liked. Despite his faith, he shuts his sister away as he agonizes over his affair with a married woman. He is continually lecturing everyone and not listening to anyone. His clothing is well cut and he drives a glossy automobile. The actual Claudel visited Camille only seven times in 30 years. She didn't have a chance. See more 05/29/2015 http://letterboxd.com/zbender/film/camille-claudel-1915/ This film chronicles the life of Camille Claudel, a sculptor in France, who spends the last 29 years of her life or so living in a mental asylum. The film does a great job setting the atmosphere in which Camille lives. The asylum is a desolate location in which Camille seems alone despite all the other mentally ill who reside. Nobody seems to listen to her despite her constant crying out (all despair acted brilliantly by Juliette Binoche). This film though could be seen as slow and I get that it was because the whole environment was attempted to be captured perfectly by director Bruno Dumont. Because of that a story never seemed to be of fruition, only focusing on the torment Camille must have been through. See more 08/18/2014 It was a work of art indeed but it was unbearable for some reasons... I looked forward to see "The End" or "Fin" whatever..! See more 08/03/2014 Juliette Binoche is magnificent.
