5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and Remarkable., 10 Jan 2008
By J. Murray "mrryjos" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Camille Claudel [1988] [DVD] [1979] (DVD)
Full-blooded, thrilling, gruelling, brilliantly acted and filmed rollercoaster-ride through the life of the hugely controversial and mysterious Claudel. Adjani is sensational in the role of a lifetime (if not SEVERAL lifetimes!). The movie rushes at breathtaking speed and at a level of emotional intensity you rarely see in a movie without it becoming overwrought (it doesn't). Really this is such an underrated and unfairly neglected piece of work.

Certainly if you are at all interested in Claudel you should watch, even if only to cavill and disagree; if you dig French movies in general, it's a must; an Adjani or Depardieu fan? then why haven't you seen it yet?; an artist? few films examine the creative impulse as profoundly and uncompromisingly as this...
I didn't like all of it, didn't agree with all of its conclusions, but couldn't help but be knocked out by the sheer power of the whole.

A terrific Biopic, a terrific French movie, a terrific period movie, a terrific movie, PERIOD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why No Region 2?, 4 Sep 2006
By T. M. Givens (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Camille Claudel [DVD] [1988] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I recently saw this wonderful film on TV and am desperate to own the DVD, but can there be any sane reason why a movie about a great French artist, filmed in France, in the French language, and starring a largely French cast, is NOT available in Europe (Region 2) and is only available in Canada and the USA?

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic, heartrending, breathtakingly beautiful, 5 Dec 2001
By Camille Claudel (Warwickshire) - See all my reviews
This is a film about passion and loyalty, focusing on Camille Claudel's true life, heartrending position on the wrong side of the equation. Those who know her lover, Rodin's, work, will appreciate the director's skill in replicating the sensuous, erotic quality of his scuptures in this beautiful film. As we watch a strong, magnificent creature destroyed by love, we question the nature of creativity, and more importantly, whether passion is of any worth at all.

This is a film that reflects well mental and emotional obsessions that can make or destroy both the beautifull and beauty. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful but flawed.
I would really like to give this film 5 because the performances of Adjani and Depardieu are fully worthy of it, but to my mind, the film is flawed in other ways. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow what a powerful story!
My tutor suggested I watched this film. I thought that 3 hours of subtitles and a French language screenplay would be more than I could stand, well I couldn't be more wrong! Read more
