The film explores the artistic muse and their relationship with the artist. Camille was a muse in that her images were fresh and vibrant which inspired Rodin. She was also a willful and socially disruptive iconoclastic young women and Rodin is attracted to her outbursts of emotion. He is twice her age and becomes her lover even though he has a common-law wife that he has no intention of leaving. Their collaborations on his sculptures inspired some of his best work. Yet her father wisely knew that she was losing herself in Rodin, putting her inspiration into his products, elevating his career and not her own. It is the nature of the artist to draw from all experiences and resources around him/her for the benefit of their art. Picasso's paintings when he is in love and inspired by a woman are very different from when he is rejecting the woman and he paints her as a monster. The relationship between Rodin and Claudel somewhat reminded me of the relationship between Francis Bacon and George Dyer in the film, Love is the Devil. Once Dyer reached the point where he no longer inspired Bacon and was in fact a liability due to alcoholism and addiction and mental illness, then Bacon withdraws in much the way Rodin withdraws from Claudel as she becomes increasingly disturbed.
The film is very beautiful to watch. The scenes of Paris and the countryside around the city, as well as the museums and exhibition halls in Paris are very beautiful and grand. The acting is superb with Isabelle Adjani and Gerard Depardieu dominating every scene. Adjani has the ability to play highly disturbed women to perfection. She is in virtually every scene in the film. It is virtually impossible not to watch her when she is on the screen.
If you can get a copy of this movie, buy it, add it to your collection and enjoy watching it!
Movie holds true to facts surrounding Claudel's relationship with Rodin and her family. Adjani was perfect choice portraying naturally beautiful and innately talented Claudel. Rodin DID technically steal her art by her being part of his studio and sadly his mistress. In the movie, Camille's father scolds her for squandering her talent, but she was deeply in love with Rodin.
Don't want to give away ending. Just make sure you don't see the new movie, "Camille Claudel 1915" with Binoche first. You must watch 1988 movie "Camille Claudel" and value her bravery and talent to put her entire life into perspective.
If you go on YouTube, you will see a good selection of her pieces signed by Rodin. The best on You Tube was created by a French Art Historian, you don't need to understand French to see what he is proving. Rodin's most beloved piece, "Embrace" was sculpted by Camille.
Museum in Salem, MA had Rodin exhibit this past summer and you can clearly see how their styles are clearly delineated. Rodin's "Thinker" is emblematic with knotty hands and feet, whereas Claudel's (signed by Rodin) "Embrace" is sensual, graceful and refined.
Camille own piece and signed "Abandonment" is 4th photo, 1st photo is self portrait...although signed by Rodin. You can compare "Embrace" to "Abandonment" and see how much they are alike. 5th photo is plaque outside her apt. near our hotel in Paris.
Subtitles are not a problem for us. Thrilled we added movie to our collection. Viva Camille!

With warm, colorful visuals, atmospheric music and detailed milieu depictions, this precisely filmed character-driven drama finely captures the era it portrays and the development of an historic figure who became a true artist. Isabelle Adjani`s interpretation of an ardent and self-disciplined young woman raised in a middle-class family who struggled with her art and with her love is remarkable, and so is Gérard Depardieu`s performance as the love of her life Auguste Rodin. Their acting is solely reason enough to see this interesting biographical period piece which centres on an unusually crafted love-story between two great artists.
