One of the many beautiful movies that have come from France. But this is not a film for all. The acting is great, and so is the story, but many may think it's to long, with a running time of 4 hours, but for me it never gets boring. Over half of the movie is about the painting process, and it shows how painful creating can be, both for the artist and the model, the scenes between Michel Piccoli and Emmanuelle Bèart are magnificent.
The story is great, as it follows three relationships, one between the painter and his model, the second between the painter and his former model/now wife (and her jealousy towards the new model), and the third between the model and her boyfriend.
The basic story is, a young couple meets and elderly painter, that for years have had a painting block, but finds new inspiration from the young woman, this upsetts his wife, who has been his only model for years.
A true masterpiece. 10/10
