Director: Bruno Nuytten Writers: Bruno Nuytten; Marilyn Goldin Based on a book by: Reine-Marie Paris Keywords: Drama
REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 18-May-2006) Camille Claudel is one of the
great films of all times. Isabel Adjani and Gerard Depardeau give
superb portrayals of Claudel and Rodin. Anyone who cares about
sculpture, fine art, fine writing, and great acting should not miss
this film. People who love this film will also love my new book,CAMILLE
CLAUDEL, A NOVEL, which I believe shares the pathos and fascination of
the movie. The book, which was published recently, tells a juicy story
of love, infidelity and creative genius. Camille Claudel was a great
female sculptor who produced most of her work in the late 1800's.
Fueled by the rejection of her lover and teacher, Auguste Rodin, and
the lack of recognition of her superb artistry, she became insane. The
book reveals a magnificent love story, and illuminates the difficulties
faced by women artists at that time. It also gives great insight into
the creative process and the mind of a genius, as well as the
techniques used by both Claudel and Rodin. Dr. Alma Bond, psychoanalyst
and author of 11 other books, including The Autobiography of Maria
Callas, a Novel, Who Killed Virginia Woolf? and Tales of Psychology:
Short Stories to Make You Wise, is highly qualified to provide profound
insight into the psyche of the two great artists, as well as Camille’s
descent into madness. Reviews have been unanimously rave. So far there
are 32 of them, including Bookwire, which wrote, " Combining an
astonishing depth of historical research with a fertile imagination and
great psychological insight." Most stress that the book is a page
turner, and once picked up, cannot be put down. Alma H. Bond, Ph.D. Author of 12 books, including "Camille Claudel, a Novel."
