Séraphine

The film follows Séraphine Louis, known as Séraphine de Senlis, a self-taught painter whose talent is discovered by art critic William Uhde. The narrative captures her journey from a humble servant to a noted figure among naïve painters, reflecting the art scene between the wars.

As the Great Depression and World War II loom, Séraphine's life takes a tragic turn, resulting in her descent into madness and obscurity. This powerful portrayal of her life highlights the often-overlooked stories of artists and their struggles against societal and personal challenges. The performances, particularly by Yolande Moreau, are integral to conveying the emotional depth of Séraphine's journey.
