I, Claude Monet – by renowned director Phil Grabsky, is a detailed biopic of one of the most significant artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and is released in cinemas worldwide from Tuesday 21 February. Shot on location in Paris, London, Normandy, and Venice, the film traces Monet’s troubled artistic and personal life from his childhood in Le Havre using his letters and other private writings through his turbulent poverty-stricken period in Argentueil to more prosperous times at Giverny where, eventually, his work would be celebrated and his legacy assured.
Narrated by multiple Olivier award-winning Henry Goodman I, Claude Monet brings new insight into the artist’s battle with depression, his bouts of loneliness and self-doubt, and his struggle to reconcile his perception of the world with what he was able to reproduce on the canvas.
