In Camille Claudel 1915, Juliette Binoche Gives A Mesmerizing Performance As Auguste Rodins Protege (And Later Mistress), And Sister Of The Christian/Mystic Poet Paul Claudel. Inspired By The Correspondence Between Paul And Camille, Writer/Director Bruno Dumont (Humanite, La Vie De Jesus) Focuses On Camille Claudels Struggle To Find Understanding And Recognition As An Artist - And The Moments Before Her Brothers Visit While She Is Confined To A Mental Institution. Shot In A Real Psychiatric Asylum, Bruno Dumont Brings Together A Supporting Cast Comprised Of Real-Life Patients And Their Actual Nurses That, Alongside Binoche, Create An Emotionally Intense Ensemble - And A Rare Cinematic Experience. While The Camera Rarely Ventures Outside Of Her Prisons Thick Walls, The Story Of Camille Claudels 29-Year Confinement Is In Itself A Tale Of Defiance Against Social Norms - And A Testament To The Power Of Creativity And Fortitude.
