It was the first time i found this feeling about art,maybe the first time someone showed this in pictures;a honest dazzling film;
The movie is about former well-known painter Fernhofer who interrupted his grand project "La Belle Noiseuse"10 years ago. Reason?yet to be discovered! He lives with his wife Liz in a castle cast away.
The young couple nicolas (a young painter) and his spouse Marrianne have planned to visit Fernhofer; Nicolas used to admire Fernhofer;but they face Master's bizarre behavior and fianlly Fernhofer perposed Marriane to become his model to resume the dusty ambition.
The movie shows 17-18 min of pure painting;not to mention it's a long movie(about 4hr length) ,so it needs patience definitly;but so rewarding,i mean it becomes an outstanding journey with Fernhofer and the painting process wich resembles the knowing and the suffering due to it.
There are certain scenes that raise the feeling of sympathy with the artist;as you see him unable to direct his source of inspiration to canvas.
To lead performances have been highly praised (Michel Piccoli as Fernhofer and Emmanuelle Beart as Marianne),but i think Jane Birkin (playing the role of Fernhofer 's wife;Liz) plays a key role in the whole movie.
Finally : it's about a 4 hour epic about art,love,sacrifice.
