The beautiful and transporting new historical drama from multi award-winning director Martin Provost about the turbulent love story between the famous post-Impressionist painter and his lesser-known – but highly influential – wife.
1893. When aspiring French painter Pierre Bonnard - a protégé of Claude Monet - meets Marthe de Méligny, he has no idea that this self-proclaimed aristocrat will become the cornerstone of his life and work. From this moment, she's more than just a muse, appearing in over a third of his work. Together, over five decades, they will reach their artistic fulfillment thanks to a colourful love, different from the standards of the time, nurturing the great mystery around their relationship.
From the producers of La Belle Epoque and Masquerade, Bonnard, Pierre & Marthe is a brilliant story of creation and love, of fame and secrets, and the life of the remarkable artist nicknamed “the painter of happiness”.
