Séraphine (2008)
personal commentary
I had no preconceptions about this film and saw it without knowing anything, I'm ashamed to say, about the film maker or the lead actress OR the painter even though I spent some time in Senlis years ago. From the first images I was intrigued because I wasn't sure where the story was going but this did not annoy me. That's what a good film should do! I am in the film business and have seen 'everything' so I feel qualified to say that. It is very difficult to 'fool' me, to really surprise me, and this film did that. It is an Oscar nomination waiting to happen. I must say that at the point Seraphine was digging up things I got the idea that she was a secret painter before we were 'supposed' to know but that did not bother me. I think the direction, writing and acting of this film were amazing. Accomplishing what a film can do without explosions and car chases and even mayhem, which I enjoy! In every way, technically and artistically, this film is a must see. A serious subject dealt with, what I believe to be, accurately without changing for dramatic purposes much of what is actually known. I admit I would have to research the facts but I feel I would be vindicated if I did so. Moving, inspiring, beautiful. What more could you want?
