I, Claude Monet, 2016 | Directed by Phil Grabsky, UK, 87 mins, English, Hebrew subtitles

Told through Monet’s own words in his letters and other private writings, and shot on location at the very spots he painted, this film offers new insight into the man who became one of the most influential artists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Monet’s life is a gripping tale about a man who, behind his sun-dazzled canvases, suffered from depression, loneliness, and even thoughts of suicide. However, as his art developed and his love of gardening led to the glories of his garden at Giverny, his humor, insight and love of life are revealed.

"Intense and intimate, pulling you into the artist’s world — offering rare insight" (The Observer)
