SKINOPSIS

This four-hour masterpiece from director Jacques Rivette explores the relationship between an artist (Michel Piccoli) and his model (Emmanuelle Béart). In other words, she's naked for approximately 240 minutes. Damn right it's a masterpiece! (French with English subtitles)
REVIEW
A renowned painter's ten-year hiatus comes to an end after becoming inspired by a young artist, and in particular the young artist's lover (Beart), who becomes the model for his return to the canvas. It's a slow, methodical exploration into the artistic process and the ensuing obsessions it brings for both artist and model. Rivette's brilliant direction makes this four-hour film a rich and rewarding experience. (French with English subtitles)
