An artist near the end of his career finds new inspiration in a young model. A famous and well-respected artist who lives in a comfortable estate in the French countryside, at the age of 60, considers his career as a painter to be over. He no longer feels inspired to create, and his last attempt at a major work, a nude study of his wife Liza, has sat unfinished for ten years. His protégé suggests a more inspiring subject, who exchanges ideas and opinions, as he methodically attempts to create a final masterpiece.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Fine french film about the struggle to express through art
submitted by mccarthy on November 3, 2007, 8:26pm
Beautifully filmed, lovely performances. Subtle plot development. Wonderful use of time, in long scenes with few words and few cuts. Tension throughout.
My only wish was that the subtitles also came in french (english only).
