(Flash Review)
Another film about a stubborn and rude artist. I'm looking at you Pollock, Turner, Klimt and etc Every time I watch a film about a famous artist, the tone is always about how neurotic and self- centered they are. If that was their personality, sure portray that but I'd also prefer a little more art focus. I think Cezanne et Moi showed the least amount of art of the films I listed. I understand the director's focus was Cezanne and writer Emile Zola and their friendship and hardships as well as watching them wax and wane about life, women, success and struggles. It was interesting to get a clearer portrayal of Cezanne before his art world changing Mont Sainte Victoire impressionistic painting period, how he struggled and lacked significant notoriety. But it would have been a nice compliment to more clearly understand how or what really led him down that revolutionary path. Overall, it was a professionally done film with some stunning scenery shots now and then.
