Oscar winner JULIETTE BINOCHE (The English Patient, Chocolat) gives a "powerhouse performance" (Observer) in this visually stunning portrait of a year in the life of Camille Claudel, the sculptor Auguste Rodin's infamous mistress. The French auteur BRUNO DUMONT, whose previous masterpieces includeFlanders and Hors Satan, draws up a beautifully stark vision of a woman denied her art, confned by her family to an asylum in the South of France where she will never sculpt again. We follow Camille through her story as she struggles to adjust to life in the asylum and awaits a visit from her brother, the writer Paul Claudel. Binoche gives an excruciatingly honest performance, acting alongside real patients, in what is a must-see cornerstone of cinema history.
October 13th is the release date, and the trailer is at the link above.
