ln CamiIle CIaudeI 1915, Juliette Binoche gives a mesmerizing performance as Auguste Rodin's protégé (and Iater mistress), and sister of the Christian/mystic poet Paul CIaudeI. lnspired by the correspondence between Paul and CamiIle, writer/director Bruno Dumont (Humanité, La Vie de Jesus) focuses on CamilIe ClaudeI's struggle to find understanding and recognition as an artist - and the moments before her brother's visit while she is confined to a mentaI institution.
Shot in a reaI psychiatric asyIum, Bruno Dumont brings together a supporting cast comprised of reaI-Iife patients and their actuaI nurses that, alongside Binoche, create an emotionaIly intense ensemble - and a rare cinematic experience. While the camera rarely ventures outside of her prison's thick walIs, the story of CamiIIe Claudel's 29-year confinement is in itself a taIe of defiance against social norms - and a testament to the power of creativity and fortitude. |
