From award-winning director Phil Grabsky comes
this fresh new look at arguably the world’s favourite artist – through his own
words.
Based on over 2500 letters and narrated by Henry Goodman, I,
Claude Monet reveals new insight into the man who not only painted the picture
that gave birth to impressionism but who was perhaps the most influential and
successful painter of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Monet’s life is a gripping tale about a man who, behind his
sun-dazzled canvases, suffered from feelings of depression, loneliness, even
suicide. However as his art developed and his love of gardening led to the
glories of his Giverny garden, his humour, insight and love of life are
revealed.
Shot on location throughout Europe at the very spots he
painted, I, Claude Monet is a fresh and intimate cinematic exploration of some
of the most loved and iconic scenes in western art.
