Review of Séraphine (2008) by Cynthia S — 08 Jan 2011
True based drama of a french artist seraphine louis in the early 20th century, this woman was a housekeeper and doer of odd labor jobs and chores which she used to maintain her impoverished apartment, although late 3 months rent, while using spare time and money to devote to the two deepest yearnings in her life.
.. nature and art. as the tale tells, she was extraordinarily beyond her times in talent yet troubled by psychosis which escalated with the early taste of recognition, money and fame, later resulting to her passing in an asylum.
this french movie flows slowly yet draws you in by its mystic intrigue. beautiful camera work, storyline and artistic scenes. i'd watch it again just to feel like i've awaken in someone else's bizarre dream.
