In CamilIe Claudel 1915, JuIiette Binoche gives a mesmerizing performance as Auguste Rodin's protégé (and later mistress), and sister of the Christian/mystic poet PauI CIaudeI. Inspired 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 whiIe she is confined to a mental institution.
Shot in a real psychiatric asylum, Bruno Dumont brings together a supporting cast comprised of reaI-life patients and their actual nurses that, aIongside Binoche, create an emotionalIy intense ensembIe - and a rare cinematic experience. While the camera rarely ventures outside of her prison's thick walIs, the story of Camille ClaudeI's 29-year confinement is in itself a tale of defiance against social norms - and a testament to the power of creativity and fortitude. |
