Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos’ lushly atmospheric biopic ‘Renoir’ tells the story of the ageing impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and his son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I.
The elder Renoir embarks on a late period of productivity in his painting life when a young girl arrives on his doorstep and becomes his model.
Their beautiful home and majestic countryside grounds reverberate with familial intrigue, as both Renoirs, father and son, become smitten with the enchanting and headstrong young muse.
This film will be shown in Nenagh Arts Centre on Thursday, January 23rd at 8.00pm. Admission €8.
