Description: If you are a fan of sculpture or even if you just like art - this is a must see. Camille Claudel was the love interest and muse of the famed sculptor Rodin and sister of famed poet and author Paul Claudel. Her fascinitating and all too short career as an artist showed traces of absolute genius. Unfortunately, she struggled with mental illness and lived in times that did not understand women who wanted to do more than be housewives. After her romance with Rodin ended, she struggled to pay her bills and keep her sanity. Eventually, her erratic behavior became too much for her family to bear and they shut her away in mental institutions where she spent the last 30 years of her life. Reports are mixed about her time in the mental hospital - some say the doctors asked her family to release her while reports of personal nurses say she suffered from paranoid delusions and would not have been able to live outside of the hospital. Regardless, her short and tragic life as an artist left us with some unforgettable pieces of sculpture and undoubtedly influenced some of Rodin's greatest works. This is a a beautifully shot film that does an excellent job of portraying the life and stuggles of a very talented artist.
