Reviews for Artemisia
It's been richly photographed and designed, but soon degenerates into a typical flesh-and-sin charade.
The film does a pretty good job of both recreating the world of 17th century art and of avoiding too much historical anachronism.
an always perceptive look into the life of an artist only previously known to the most academic of us. Merlet brings the sixteen-hundreds alive with all its wantonness.
A heroine who finds sanctuary in her imagination, the one truth that can be trusted.
