Artemisia [DVD]

A beautifully rendered film of one of the earliest women artists in history. While initially unknown, she has morphed into a remarkable universally acknowledged artist of our time.

I am not sure if this movie is true to its historical inspiration but it is a sensuous and highly entertaining movie. I imagine that most people are aware that women have not had the equality in many fields and this was certainly true in the art world where men were dominant, well known and admired. When a talented young woman attempts to enter this "men's club", especially using nude models, the reaction of the art world is hostile. The movie is photographed beautifully and the cast is exceptional. It is well worth seeing, even if not totally, historically accurate. Artemisia

A young woman is determined to be a painter, just as her father is. However, painting is a man's vocation, and she does not fit in. But she perseveres. She studied under a male painter; however, they did the "naughty" and got caught. That resulted in a Catholic Church trial that involved her torture.Her lover confessed to save her, and was punished. She went on to be a great painter. The story has a lot of drama.I highly recommend it.

The '98 French film `Artemisia' fluctuates back and forth between artsy, romantic, decadent, eloquent and profound. According to a large number of reviews preceding mine the film is greatly lacking in historical content and since I know nothing about this real life figure from the 17th century other than what is portrayed in this film I will not attempt to contradict their opinion. I will simply confine my comments to the film itself.`Artemisia' is a dreamy, insightful period piece with the lovely Valentina Cervi in the role of the immensely talented painter Artemisia. The task of finding an appreciative audience for this film falls predominately on Valentina's shoulders. As she battles against the limitations placed on 17th century women by society at large one must be able to relate to the interior angst and anger of the highly artistic and emotional Artemisia if one is going to stay focused on the storyline. In my opinion Valentina did a superb job displaying her feelings and frustrations non-verbally through her expressive and angelic face and bottomless, unfathomable eyes. If you like her performance you'll enjoy the film, if you don't then it's time to move on.`Artimisia' is a bit uneven here and there and probably too slow for some. However the scenes and dialogue between Artimisia and her art teacher and love interest Agostino Tassi (Miki Manojlovic) are beautifully done and make it well worth watching.

Well acted and true to the history of women in Art. Artemesia is not for the feint hearted and must be restricted for those of younger years or delicate taste. It is however a true depiction of an example of the neglect of talented women artists by mainstream society and historical reflections. Artemesia was a very brave individual who truly sacrificed for her art.

This DVD would not play on any DVD players in this country...and nothing told me this when I ordered it. Now I'm stuck with a DVD that won't play....need to fly to Europe to watch a DVD....what a joke.

A romanticized story of Artemesia Gentilschi, whose father painted commissioned works for the church. She was just as talented as her father, but being a young woman, she wasn't allowed to express her talents. She did anyway and paid the price.

First time I watched this movie was in 1998, at a cinemaclub , this filmwork is very well written and accurate, if someone is majoring in art, or simple is thirsty for good art knowledge, I recommend this dvd, to know more about the artist whose artwork changed the history of art forever.
