- Synopsis:
The troubled life of French sculptor Camille Claudel and her long relationship with legendary sculptor Auguste Rodin are portrayed in this passionate biographical drama, featuring an acclaimed, Academy Award nominated performance by Isabelle Adjani. Beginning in the 1880s with a young Claudel's first meeting with Rodin (Gerard Depardieu), the film traces the development of their intense romantic bond. The growth of this relationship coincides with the rise of Claudel's career, helping her overcome prejudices against female artists. However, their romance soon sours, due to the increasing pressures of Rodin's fame and his love for another woman. These difficulties combine with her increasing doubts about the value of her work, driving Claudel into an emotional tumult that threatens to become insanity. - Actors:

Rodin fans only - Camille Claudel review by JD
I imagine this is a highly dramatised account of a relationship between 2 French sculptors. How they fall in and out of love and how their art influenced each other. Well acted but unbelievable and not that interesting unless you like Rodin.
