  'Camille Claudel'
  
  I found this film far to long and was pleased when it finally finished. An hour shorter would have made for a better film.

  Interesting but bleak!
  
  A well acted and shot story of Camille's obsessive love for Rodin. A bit on the long side and a bit bleak but interesting.
