Review of Camille Claudel (1988) by Tero H — 18 Oct 2012
Fascinating, well directed and superbly acted story about a passionate, gifted sculptor Camille Claudel. This film is able to keep the interest even though its great lenght, mostly due to Adjani's riveting performance as the suffering artist.
The film has detailed sets and wardrobes with atmospheric music which complements the overall dark mood of the movie. Adjani's gifted acting is enchanting, in the center of the film and is impressive to say the least.
Depardieu and the rest of the cast are great. What made me wonder was what were the mental or rather, emotional processes bound by passion and despair that moved her in the final result of the story. The movie was long but the film kept my interest its whole duration.
Not an action film, but a long, well done drama with great actors.
