War is only playing in the background. According Renoir art should not be involved in the suffering and misfortune. That is, there is already enough. Art should be the same time and focus on what is beautiful. Why does beauty have to be suspicious? Bourdet then Renoir in a biopic or unlock the truth slowly. You can not explain the painting, you should feel. And the pain passes, but the beauty remains. The latter refers to arthritis painter, carrying the chair, and it was difficult for his paintings. Beautiful Andrea kept her going and inspiration.

brilliant graphics
Bourdos attention to the excellent work of Renoir pretty pictures, but make no painter creative struggle topics such as Jacques Rivette is very good with regard to the interaction between the model and the artist in a beautiful liar. Film as Renoir painted with an eye for the faint soft light in the studio, to the sunny garden where olive trees rustle, a beautiful sea view and of course the beautiful body of a new model.

At the end of the war Jean go again, now as a captain, and of course, much to the dismay of Andrea.

Conflict?
Actually it's not really a film about the painter, even in the later film maker, but more on the interesting figure of a young muse. However, only the paint on the canvas of Renoir, not so much in the film itself. Therefore, there is little progress, very little stress, too little conflict and drama. Veteran Michel Bouquet plays a role both as a painter of old, recording often aesthetically, but overall still very neat and too dim.

conclusion
Film Bourdos gives a beautiful picture of a beautiful resort on the Riviera in 1915. The record was tranquility of the countryside and the sluggish pace is slow at times provide a pleasant atmosphere. But history has a little drama in it was really exciting.
