Women of the Impressionist Movement Trailers

“Impressionism is female”: we understand this when we consider Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès and Marie Bracquemond, four outstanding artists who developed distinct Impressionist subjects and manners of painting. All four knew each other, were regulars in the contemporary artist circles of Paris and, above all, shared a common fate: they were talented women in a world ruled by men. The documentary by Rudij Bergmann, an expert on impressionalism, which was filmed in France and the United States tells the story of the four women, placing their works at the centre of reflection on aesthetic, historical but also social matters. Set against the backdrop of Paris in the late 19th century, it reveals a new dimension of this fascinating and revolutionary period of art.

Reviews
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Glatpoti It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
