“Provost and cowriter Marc Abdelnour explore the mutable boundaries between spirituality, naivete, genius, and madness, showing how the two outsiders and polar opposites cultivated a mutual understanding..”  Andrea Gronvall - Chicago Reader

“What makes this slow, intense film so compelling is its persuasive creation of complex characters: You scarcely believe Moreau is an actor and that the film isn't, on some level, archival footage of the real painter.” Richard Nilsen - Arizona Republic

Yet another true story - a real life, transformed by an amazing team of artists into a mutli-award winning film.  The life is that of currently little-known artist, Séraphine de Senlis who lived as a despised, poor and ignorant house cleaner in rural France in the period around the first world war.  Her life was dreary, but her art was not - it is vibrant and colourful and passionate.  Everything she would seem not to be.  It is also the story of a relationship - between the introverted Séraphine and the German art dealer who discovers her art and brings it to the notice of the world - not necessarily for her good.  Discover an amazing performance in which Yolande Moreau transforms herself into Séraphine and shows us her soul.  Discover also an artist of whom you may not have previously been aware.  The story of an artist transforming her life, and the world around her.  Reality transformed.
