This remarkable film tells the story of Séraphine de Senlis, a poor middle-aged housekeeper in a small town in France with a hidden talent as a self-taught painter. Séraphine's work was discovered in 1913 while she was cleaning the lodging of German art collector Wilhelm Uhde, the man who first recognized Picasso's and Rousseau's talents.
The artist's sanity is tested as her professional relationship with Uhde comes under pressure in the wake of World War I and the Great Depression, while she copes with the newfound prospects of fame and fortune. This provocative exploration of one of the world's most enigmatic artists was a big winner at this year's French Academy Awards. The exploration of art and madness took home seven Césars including prizes for Best Film and Best Actress.
2008 France, Not Rated, 125 minutes, In French and German with English subtitles.
