Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe (2024)

"Bonnard, Pierre and Marthe" is a French period drama tracing the intimate relationship between painter Pierre Bonnard and his lifelong muse and companion Marthe, set against the sun-drenched world of early twentieth-century art. Stacy Martin takes on the role of Marthe with a fearless physicality, appearing nude throughout as the film lingers on the artist's gaze and the body as subject. Cecile De France rounds out the cast, bringing texture to the story's exploration of desire, creation, and domestic life among the bohemian set. Across 7 scenes collected here, the film moves between tender undress and frank sensuality, treating nudity as inseparable from the painterly obsession at its core. Fans of Martin's work will find this one of her more revealing performances, with the camera as unflinching as the canvases it depicts.
