Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe

2024 · 122 min

A slow, sensual immersion into a painter's life and love, rich in colour and quiet emotion, with a lingering sadness beneath the warmth.

Overview: When French painter Pierre Bonnard met Marthe de Méligny, he didn’t know this self-proclaimed aristocrat would become the cornerstone of his life and work. From this moment, she became more than just a muse for the “painter of happiness”, appearing in more than a third of his work. Together, they reached their artistic fulfillment thanks to a colourful love, different from the standards of their time, nurturing the great mystery around their relationship. Based on a true story.
