La Belle Noiseuse
N.p. N.p., 1991. Eight vintage French color lobby cards from the 1991 film.
Inspired by Balzac's novella "Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu," Jacques Rivette's "La Belle Noiseuse" ("The Beautiful Troublemaker") is a masterful four-hour study of the creative process and the emotional tolls taken on artist, model and family.
A once famous, now reclusive painter Frenhofer (Piccoli) and his wife Liz (Jane Birkin) are visited by a young artist Nicolas (David Bursztein) and his girlfriend Marianne (Beart). Frenhofer is inspired to take up work on a painting, "La Belle Noiseuse" he abandoned a decade earlier, with Marianne replacing the former model, Liz.
Set in and shot on location in Assas, Herault, France.
