Séraphine, een verassende film by walburgis |
| Een vergeten schilderes en een boeiend verhaal. Is het dan toch waar dat armoede tot de mooiste resultaten komt? De geschiedenis, waarin het verborgen leven van homofielen ook belicht wordt, verveeld niet en de fotografie maakt dat ik deze film nog vaker wil bekijken. |

| Summary: |
The true story of Séraphine Louis, a simple, devout housekeeper who in 1905, at the age of 41, began painting brilliantly colorful canvases. In 1912, a German art critic discovered her paintings while she was working as his maid. Tells the story of the relationship between the avant-garde dealer and the visionary cleaning lady, forging a testament to the mysteries of creativity and the resilience of one woman's spirit. |
