Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1915. His hands are crippled by arthritis, yet he paints—brush tied to his wrist. The war has taken his sons, his model leaves for a young assistant, and the artist remains with his colors and pain. This is not a biography but an exploration of creativity as obsession. Shots mimic impressionist brushstrokes, light dances on models' skin, and dialogues about art sound like monologues into the void. The film portrays not a legend but a man for whom painting became the only way to exist in a crumbling world.
