Exhibition on Screen: Cézanne - Portraits of a Life [Sub: Eng]

It demonstrates how hard it is to film paintings and have a visual point of view...what follows in the film, although somewhat like a summary, is quite effective. [Full Review in Spanish]

But beyond scholarly explanation and artistic evidence, the paintings are the story. Rendered in detail on the big screen, they remain among the most dramatic, stunningly personal and just plain beautiful works that audiences are likely to see anywhere.

This is a film that thoroughly repays careful listening and looking.

It's the paintings that matter, and the paintings are magnificent.
