Negative Positive
Title: Unpleasant
Review: Camille is supposed to be a talented, passionate sculptor but she is content to just try to become the mistress of Rodin, a serial seducer. She becomes his assistant, model, and lover, not producing any significant sculpture of her own. Surprisingly she did not know that unprotected sex with a married man can lead to no good.After he refuses to give up his wife for her, she exhibits her sculptures on her own, with no success. She blames Rodin and his "gang" for her failure. According to the movie, she just did not have what it took to be successful on her own.The movie seems to adhere faithfully to the historical facts as reported in the Wikipedia, but it adds up to a very unpleasant experience whose point escapes me.One positive thing about the movie is the seeming historical authenticity of the settings (turn-of-century France).
Is the review positive or negative?
