Cezanne: The Man and the Mountain

NaN•58m•

Richly illustrated with Cezanne's paintings and with views of the countryside that inspired them, this movie focuses on the artist's use of a single image--Mont St. Victoire in Provence--to define form, color, and light. It opens with the artist at 67, at odds with both peers and critics, and traces Cezanne's career to his final recognition as the "father of modern painting.
