    I loved this film when it came out. Passionate biopic of an important woman sculptor - and I kept thinking, "Yeah - how many famours artists from history can I name that are women?" Here's one.

    This movie shows us once again that anyone can have a screwed up loving relationship. And for all the single girls out there who thing the man they are having an affair with are every going to leave there wife's, let's just say your chances of winning the lottery are better. In t...( read more)his movie we see French sculptor Camille Claudel develops her talent and ambition. In the process she catches the attention of legendary sculptor Auguste Rodin. Who she falls madly in love with and his passion for her is undeniable. But after Rodin turns her away and favor's his wife, her passion turns into rage, and her work once at its height in France tumbles, and she is committed for years in a mental institution. More or less the life and times of Camille Claudel . Get a large bag of Pop Corn, 2 Pizza's and a quart of ice cream as this is a long one in French with English Subtitles. Did you expect different I doubt that 1 out 500 Americans even know who Camille Claudel was. 3 1/2 stars.

    Execellent film. I don't usually watch foreign language movies because they keep me destruct (subtitles) but this one's not. Gerard Depardieu & Isabel Adjani were good here. They deserve the acclaims.
