If you enjoy the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard have I found the movie for you. For over 3 hours that what you hear. The rest of the time is monotonous dialog. Here's the summation of 4 hours of this movie. Old artist believes he has one masterpiece still in him. Beautiful model suffers through being physically manipulated like she is a contortionist whose bones and muscles can be twisted like silly putty. Artist doesn't care. Someone else will have to tell you if the painting ever happened or if the model ended up in traction. At 2x scan speed still couldn't get through movie. By the way, the model is nude through most of the movie. So it is possible to have a naked sexy woman in a 4 hour movie and make you so bored and depressed that you feel like someone put salt-peter in your cappuccino. Nothing can stay awake in this pretentious movie about nothing important for an hour let alone 4 hours.. If you want to watch 4 hours about nothing, go watch a Seinfeld marathon instead, you'll enjoy it more.
