Rodin

2017 · 119 min

A slow, talky plunge into an artist's studio life, more about creative obsession and tangled affairs than about art itself.

Overview
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), man of the people, autodidact and revolutionary sculptor - the most brilliant of his era. At 42, Rodin meets Camille Claudel, a young woman desperate to become his assistant. He quickly acknowledges her as his most able pupil, and treats her as an equal in matters of creation.
