About this movie

Starring powerhouse performances from Guillaume Gallienne (Yves Saint Laurent, Marie Antoinette) and Guillaume Canet (Last Night, The Beach) and from Academy Award nominee writer/director Danièle Thompson, Cezanne et Moi is a stunning tale of friendship, love and envy. When Paul Cézanne and Emile Zola become friends as boys, they shared everything; hopes, dreams, curiosity and doubts. One rich, one poor, they left for Paris where the art scene of 1860s Montmartre quickly enveloped them. As their careers took different directions, Cezanne as an unrecognised painter and Emile, whose fame, money and marriage moved from strength to strength, their friendship, philosophies and lives were pushed to the very boundaries of all they knew.
