La Belle Noiseuse

Famous painter Edouard (Michel Piccoli) stopped working long ago and now lives in the countryside with his wife, Liz (Jane Birkin). When his friend Nicolas (David Bursztein) visits, Edouard is taken with his striking girlfriend, Marianne (Emmanuelle Beart), who inspires him to try to complete a nude portrait he gave up on years ago. At Nicolas' suggestion, Marianne agrees to serve as Edouard's model, and the painter and his new muse begin working on the difficult project.
