Good

AA from Surrey, England, 4th December, 2006

I didn't know what to expect when I rented this but should say I enjoyed watching it. Its about a kind of art/painting that was not appreciated in the 1800's (during the life time of the artists) and the kind of struggle they endure to do what they felt passionately about. It definitely is worth watching.

Wonderful insight into Impressionists

A Customer from Scotland, 16th May, 2009

This was not quite what I expected - I thought I was getting a documentary on the Impressionists but it is in actual fact a docu-rama. Having said that is a delighful production, well acted and with an excellent mix of close up looks at many of the impressionist paintings. Well worth a watch.
