    Seraphine

    by Rich S

    A beautifully photographed fim and sensitively told story of the modern painter Seraphine de Senlis. The leads were well cast with Moreau and Turkur, portaying inward turned artist and conflicted art dealer respectively. The dialoque in French and in German is almost musical. The film's sound effects are captivating emphasizing Seraphine's perspective aurally as well as visually.Her pintings become more and more "in your face" as she simultaneously becomes more liberated due to some artistic recognition and her grip on reality is loosened as she enters the world she herself describes in the statement; "when I look at what I have done, it scares me". The story and its enactment will likely stay with you for hours or days after it is viewed.

    Moreau is bewitching -- she simply breathes her role, without a hint of vanity.

    Boston Globe | Ty Burr

    What Moreau does with this role is as inscrutably moving as anything Sraphine...
