The Artist and the Model
BD - Scripted with insight and
sensitivity by Fernando Trueba and Jean-Claude Carrière, this
mournful exploration of the toll taken by time and conflict
turns to Matisse and Picasso for its story about the impact a
Spanish Civil War fugitive has on a reclusive 80 year-old
sculptor. However, while Aida Folch inspires Jean Rochefort,
with the connivance of his anxious wife Claudia Cardinale, her
commitment to the anti-fascist cause is stronger than her
self-preservation. Beautifully photographed by Daniel Vilar,
this is an impeccably played gem, whose ideas are as potent as
its imagery. Blu-ray Release date: February 11th, 2014
