Hanna (Isabelle Huppert) und Violetta (Anamaria Vartolomei) bilden ein ungewöhnliches Gespann: eine undurchschaubare Mutter und ihre junge Tochter, die sich nach der mütterlichen Liebe sehnt; eine wunderliche Künstlerin und ihr Modell wider Willen. Als Hanna ihre Tochter bittet, ihr Modell zu sein, wird Violettas Leben auf den Kopf gestellt - von der ruhigen Kindheit bei der Großmutter (Georgetta Leahu) gerät sie mitten in die hippe Pariser Kunstszene, deren Muse sie wird.

At the beginning, it seemed pretty artsy to me to the point that I was saying to myself that I didn’t know whether I could handle such a wave of artsiness. The mother portrayed by Isabella Huppert pissed me off from the moment the movie started. But later I understood that she was supposed to piss me off because the things she did were pretty crazy and had a strong impact on the rest of the movie. After about 40 minutes, the movie shifts its focus from the artists onto the daughter of that crazy artist, who was portrayed brilliantly by Anamaria Vartolomei. Well and at that point, the gradation started and the movie went all the way, as French movies tend to do. The ending literally swept me off my feet so much that I’m still speechless. Finally, a good old French movie that takes only the best of French history. I tip my hat off to the director Eva Ionesco, for whom this movie was a directorial debut.
