Movie Reviews of The Impressionists
Movie Review: Incredibly Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I had initially bought this based solely on the fact that Richard Armitage is in it. I was not disappointed. It is an incredibly engaging piece dedicated to the life of Claude Monet and his circle of artist friends of the time. I did not know much about TI before this so it was a wonderful lesson in art. The most enjoyable parts were when the paintings we all know so well had been brought to life right in front of my eyes. The subject, the surroundings, the story behind the paintings were revealed. We know them so well today as the greats but here we get to see the struggles they went thru at the time and how they were treated by their contemporaries. It's one that I've happily added to my DVD library and would watch again.Movie Review: Inspirational, brilliant film
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved impressionist paintings more than any others. I've read about them, seen them in museums, and felt intensely moved by them.
The brilliance of this film was in seeing the inspiration for the paintings, watching the paintings being painted and the actual locations. To say it was a beautiful film is a vast understatement.
The fine acting allowed you to lose yourself in the film. All the actors were good, but Richard Armitage as Monet was phenomenal. His eyes showed the joy with which Monet painted, the need to capture the moment and the light.
This is one film I will watch again and again. I'm so glad I found it!
Movie Review: The Impessionists
Summary: 5 Stars
The Impressionists
Absolutely wonderful movie. Two discs. I love biographies, art, great acting - and it was all in this movie. The actors actually look like the people they portray and the combination of that and their stories, being told by Monet in later life, make this movie come alive. I bought this movie to share with others and to enjoy over and over again.
Movie Review: As breathtaking as their paintings
Summary: 5 Stars
What an absolute joy! I've read a great deal about the Impressionist movement but the artists never came alive for me they way they did in this film. Everything -- the acting, the cinematography, the music, the editing -- combined for one of the most beautiful, enjoyable and informative films I've ever seen. I don't think I'll ever look at a painting by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas or Cezanne again without thinking of this movie. BRAVO!!!!Movie Review: Easy to take light history of the impressionists in movie form
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Impressionists" has given me an easy to absorb light history of the impressionists. They, or most of them, devleoped their art form(s) while developing their friendships together. Their stories are told here, and some of their art is shown, letting one get a good look at it. The DVD makes a nice compact art history lesson. I learned quite a bit about the impressionists and the "time" of their art development from the DVD.
