insignificant people

the presence of Yolande Moreau becomes more important after the end of film. because her Seraphine is more than a character. it represents people and searches, colors and hopes. a film about art who defines the survive of a poor woman. far to be a great movie, it is only vehicle for noble idea. nothing new. nothing seductive. only a story about limits and need to e yourself against the expectations of the others. the film of Yolande Moreau. touching, sad, strange, soft. a biography who has nothing special. only the colors of paintings, the landscapes and the search of the manner to discover yourself to the other.a film about insignificant people. beautiful . but out of the ordinary expectations about a film about artists.
