Praise the film Bruno Dumont's "Camille Claudel, 1915." He participated in the Berlinale competition.
 The film, shot in a psychiatric hospital in the south of France, is dedicated to the years that in such an institution held a sculptor and artist Camille Claudel, ranked in a psychiatric hospital in 1916.
Claudel in an emotional performance Binoche appears fragile, very vulnerable woman on the verge of collapse. From the complete destruction of its ineradicable saves only the thirst for creativity.

I love Binoche, interview with her about this movie.


By the way, there are still about Claudel movie '88 with Adjani and Depardieu (played by Rodin, of course <! - ~ 1 ~ ->).
Directed by Bruno, too, but Nyuitten - the famous statement. And this film was nominated for the Golden Bear at Berlin Film Festival, 5 prizes "Cesar".

Father always favored choice daughter Camilla was trying to help and support her morally and financially. When he died on March 2, 1913, Camille about his death was not reported.
March 10, 1913 on the initiative of his brother, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in the city of Villers-Edward Neil sur-Marne. It is believed that she was admitted to the hospital voluntarily, although the agreement was signed by a doctor and her brother.
Some historians put forward guesses that his brother, also an artist, has been in the shadow of her fame in the art world and just decided to take my sister out of the way. There are sources, according to which Camilla, although there had been outbreaks of psychopathic was absolutely clear in mind when working on his sculptures. Doctors tried to convince her family that needs to keep Camilla at the clinic there, but still family kept her there.
In 1914, in order to be safe from the German advance, patients Ville Edward transferred to Enge. September 7, 1914 Camille was transferred, with several other female patients, the hospital Montedeverzhe six kilometers from Avignon.

Hospital card from Montedeverzhe dated September 22, 1914, it implies that the patient suffers from "systemic disorders of consciousness on the basis of false interpretations, and hallucinations."
At the same time, the press accused the family of Camille in the destruction of the genius of the sculptor. Mother forbids her to receive mail from anyone other than his brother.
Hospital staff regularly offer free family Camille, but every time the mother stubbornly refuses.
June 1, 1920 physician Dr. Brunet sent a letter to her mother, trying to Camilla in the family. But the answer never came.
Paul Claudel was visiting her sister every few years, but spoke of it only in the past tense. In 1929 it was visited by his childhood friend Jessie Lipscomb.
During the 30 years he spent in the hospital Montedeverzhe, it never came to see neither the mother nor sister.
Camille Claudel died on October 19, 1943. She was buried in the cemetery Montafet.
