Description:
Looking back on his life in 1920, Claude Monet recalls the story of the Impressionists – a movement that shook the foundation of the art world. With his fellow painters, Auguste Renoir and Frederic Bazille, they begin a forty year struggle against the Salon, the annual state art exhibition. From meeting his hero Edouard Manet to the death of his wife and his lifelong struggles for success, Monet along with his friends and rivals ultimately find the success that they only dreamed was possible.

The Impressionists
Absolutely wonderful movie. Two discs. I love biographies, art, great acting - and it was all in this movie. The actors actually look like the people they portray and the combination of that and their stories, being told by Monet in later life, make this movie come alive. I bought this movie to share with others and to enjoy over and over again.

I just watched this movie last night on PBS and I found it so wonderful and it really made me truly appreciate what these artist went through.
I will now have a new appreciation for these artists and their works.
Bravo

As BBC historical dramas go, this one is informative, well performed and beautifully photographed. Art historians, however, may question how well it represents the artists, their work, and their relationships.

What an absolute joy! I've read a great deal about the Impressionist movement but the artists never came alive for me they way they did in this film. Everything -- the acting, the cinematography, the music, the editing -- combined for one of the most beautiful, enjoyable and informative films I've ever seen. I don't think I'll ever look at a painting by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas or Cezanne again without thinking of this movie. BRAVO!!!!

I have some major reservations with this 3 hour BBC period drama about the Impressionists. Firstly - what happened to CAMILLE PISSARRO? He was (and still is) a major Impressionist painter. He was there from the very beginning and was a very important figure to all the other Impressionist painters such as Monet and Renoir. He's not sighted or even mentioned anywhere in the whole of the three hours of this DVD. Not a word, not an image. It's as if he had never existed. What a shocking oversight! I ... Read More
