My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Camille Claudel (1989)

An intense and beautifully shot biography of the woman sculptor of the same name, whose love affair with Auguste Rodin became legendary.  It's a sad tale of that thin line between genius and madwoman.  Isabelle Adjani is incredible in the role of Camille in a performance raw with complexities and fiery emotions.  Gérard Depardieu is excellent as well and the two of them have great chemistry.   Grade: A-
