"Two thumbs up, way up...a masterpiece." -Siskel & Ebert

Frenhofer, a renowned French artist, hasn't lifted his brush in years. But when he meets the stunningly beautiful girlfriend of a young painter visiting his chateau, she inspires him to return to work on an abandoned masterpiece, known as "La Belle Noiseuse". Frenhofer had set the painting aside a decade earlier when it threatened to consume him entirely and destroy his fragile relationship with his wife. Stirred to action once more, he and the young model embark on a perilous collaboration that will forever change them both.

A beautiful, heartfelt film about the painful choices an artist must sometimes make between commitment to life and loved ones, or total submission to the often devastating demands of Art.
