Meudon

About This Movie

So, Meudon, from 2020, it’s this really interesting animated take on the lives of Rodin and Claudel, but it flips the script a bit. The animation style? It's got this ethereal quality that really draws you in, almost like you’re wandering through a dream. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the complexities of their relationship, and there’s this haunting atmosphere throughout. The theme of power dynamics, especially how women are portrayed historically, really sets it apart. The performances—given that it’s animated—have a certain weight to them. You can feel the emotional struggles, which is kind of impressive for animation. It’s not your typical art narrative, which makes it worth talking about.
