Bonnard, Pierre et Marthe

Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe - a treat of a film for any art lover, or those who aspire to a life of lounging around the French countryside eating, having sex and painting the odd masterpiece. Enjoy lunch with Claude (Monet), who has rowed down the river from his place with cooked pheasant and bottle of Bordeaux in hand... what's not to like? The production design, hair and makeup, and costumes are superb, and all the performances are top notch, though Cécile de France stands above the rest as Marthe. It may be ten minutes too long but that's not worth quibbling about. A truly enjoyable film that's absolutely delicious and well worth your time, go see it.
