This week I saw a stunningly beautiful art film directed by Bruno Dumont about three days in the life of French sculpture artist Camille Claudel - in an asylum. (Mentored by Auguste Rodin, her work is more eye-popping.)

Starring Juliet Binoche as Claudel, much of the movie is closeup on her amazingly expressive, traumatized face, while the matching set is a stark but beautiful, winter landscape around Avignon in France. The sound is in the same mood - but no music, only voices, and landscape noise such as gravel, birdsong, and the oppressive mistral wind. Terribly sad she was locked up for much of her life - and by her brother.
