Film Description
The moving, passionate and tragic true story of Camille Claudel, muse and lover to the great French sculptor Rodin, and a brilliant sculptor in her own right. However, her passion for Rodin and her own art clashed, trapping her between opposing forces. The role of the sculptress, whose talent and promise was derailed into eccentric behaviour, psychiatric problems and eventual confinement, gave Adjani the opportunity to show what an accomplished actress she is.

Review by Peter Wild on 13th June 2007
Following in the footsteps of the recent reissue of Agnes Merlet's Artemesia comes Bruno Nuytten's biopic of Camille Claudel, the famous 19th century sculptress, with Isabelle Adjani in the titular role and Gerard Depardieu as Auguste Rodin, her muse, lover and, eventually, the apparent cause of her madness. As with Artemesia, we follow Camille as she develops as an artist (Rodin commenting, relatively early on, that she gives the clay a life that the models often lack) and we see the relationship of master and pupil become that of lovers; where Nuytten's movie diverges from Merlot's, however, is in the downside to the creative process: like many creative women before and since, Claudel was eventually consigned to an insane asylum where she eked out the last thirty years of her life. This is an epic story (the film clocks in at 175 minutes) with epic performances – particularly from Adjani. Nuytten was the cinematographer on Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, and Camille Claudel certainly stands comparison with those established masterpieces.

Article - "Gérard Depardieu-From Jacques the Lad to...?
"
by David Parkinson
Thursday 5th June 2008
Gérard Depardieu dominates French cinema as no one since Jean Gabin. His achievement is all the more remarkable, however, for the obstacles he has had to overcome in the 60 often traumatic years since he was born on 27 December 1948.
