Belle noiseuse. Divertimento, La (1991)

Title: Belle noiseuse. Divertimento, La
Released: 1991
Runtime: 125 min / 238 min (director's cut)
Country: France
Language: French

Comments: One of my all time favorite movies.This is one of my favorite movies of all time and was released in two versions - with La Belle Noiseuse being the longer of the two. I definitely recommend picking a quiet evening - perhaps with a glass of wine in hand - - and enjoying.

This is a story of an artist (Michel Piccoli) - who after several years of retirement - - is coaxed by his friend to return to his craft to paint his unrealized masterpiece. He chooses - as his model - a beautiful temperament full young woman - rather than his wife (Jane Birkin). Several beautifully interwoven themes of human emotions are evident - jealously - frustration - longing - triumph and finally understanding.

Manon of the Spring (1986)

Title: Manon of the Spring
... aka Manon des sources
Released: 1986
Genre: Drama
Runtime: 113 min
Country: France / Italy / Switzerland
Language: French

Plot Summary: A young woman living in poverty gets revenge for her father's death by cutting off the town's water supply.

Comments: Excellent sequel. This and "Jean de Florette", when combined, are up there with the best French movies ever made. I didn't like the second bit as much as the first (going on the sole reason that it was a bit draggy at times), but without it, the entire story is incomplete, so there you go. It was very nice to see all the characters again from part one & watch their individual fates change over time. There are some very good moments in this movie that completely shock you--that's all part of the greatness of "Manon of the Spring."
