It’s 1914, just before the outbreak of world war one and famous art collector Wilhelm Uhde rents an apartment in the small town of Senlis. The idea is to write and take a break from the hectic life he lives in Paris. He hires a cleaning lady called Seraphine Louis who turns out to be the laughing stock of the whole town due to her mental problems.
One day Wilhelm notices a small painting lying about his cleaners living quarters and is immediately impressed at the skill that is apparent in it. He questions her about it and is stunned to learn that the artist is in fact Seraphine herself. Wilhelm is forced to leave France because of the war but on his return he makes it his personal mission to bring her to the worlds attention.
The film has already won multiple awards and the story is both uplifting and touching. Seraphine stars Yolande Moreau, Ulrich Tukur and is written and directed by Martin Provost.
Seraphine is released in the UK on the 27th November, new poster (and the trailer) below:
