Synopsis

In this award-winning period biopic from Martin Provost, Yolande Moreau gives a brilliant performance as early-20th century French painter Seraphine Louis. The film contrasts her earthy existence and daily housekeeping grunt work with her vibrant, unschooled paintings of flowers and nature. Her untamed art is disregarded by most, but catches the eye of a German art critic (Ulrich Tukur), who commissions her paintings and leads her from poverty to bourgie. Seraphine's third act finds her with unlimited frocks, but scant inspiration. Winner of seven Cesar Awards. In French with English subtitles.
