The acting & casting is perfect. I love

The acting & casting is perfect. I love long, lingering movies. I am an artist & a poet. AND a fan of all of the literary works cited as inspiration--James, Balzac, Wilde--so Why didn't this do it for me? yes--a deep look at the model/artist relationship--down to the smallest details --the scene where F. arranges his pens, clears the space off surfaces, while Marianne waits -- as if she doesn't exist--is brilliant--but like many of the scene (sorry) just goes on too long. I HATED the sound of that scratching pen! I wanted him to be working in oils :) I am someone who enjoyed "Giovanni Fabulouso" -- which my partner at Venice film Festival thought was as riveting as paint drying-- but there the film-maker captured the still ness in the creative process-- the daydreaming that is the gestation--without boring us to tears. or me anyway. All I can think is that Beart's flawless beauty mesmerized all those male critics. Worth sitting through the other 3 hours for an hours worth of her nudity--. I did love watching Birkin--& seeing the traces of her daughter Charlotte in her--

Acting and cinematography are first class. The length

Acting and cinematography are first class. The length of the movie is totally unjustified. Yes, it takes time to make a painting. Similarly to write a book or make a sculpture. By these metrics, a movie about Rodin would have a duration of thirty days. Much better movies have an approval rate of 70 or 80 percent as opposed to one hundred here. Unless the critics want to show us that they totally get a “difficult “ movie by a famous director. Nice restoration on the Cohen channel.

HOW does this have any good reviews? this

HOW does this have any good reviews? this movie had absolutely no business being 4 hours long & that old man had absolutely no need for a model; I could've made chicken scratch like that with my eyes closed.
