Bonnard, Pierre et Marthe traces the life and work of painter Pierre Bonnard, played by Vincent Macaigne, and his relationship with the enigmatic Marthe, played by Cécile de France, who played a major role in his artistic work. The film explores the deep and complex ties that bind these two characters, while revealing the love story and creative process that shaped them. The film is due in cinemas on January 10.
Director Martin Provost is renowned for his historical and biographical films, offering nuanced and captivating portraits of famous people. With Bonnard, Pierre et Marthe, he sets out to show the different facets of the relationship between the artist and his muse, and the influence they had on each other. And it's quite touching. The two lovers loved each other, tore each other apart, left each other, found each other again... It's easy to understand what fascinated Martin Provost about the couple's story, which he stages with talent.
Above all, it is the performance of the acting duo that fascinates. Cécile de France plays one of her best roles here, and Vincent Macaigne is touchingly bonhomie.
