Storyline
In 1914, Wilhelm Uhde, a famous German art collector, rents an apartment in the town of Senlis, forty kilometers away from Paris, in order to write and to take a rest from the hectic life he has been living in the capital. The cleaning lady is a rather rough-and-ready forty-year-old woman who is the laughing stock of others. One day, Wilhelm who has been invited by his landlady, notices a small painting lying about in her living room. He is stunned to learn that the artist is no other than Séraphine. Written by Guy Bellinger

The French movie Séraphine traces two decades of the life of Séraphine de Senlis, a French painter, self-taught, of very modest origin and died in misery. By chance, during the same week, I saw At Eternity's Gate and then Séraphine. Obviously, two very different ways of filming for 2 distinct painters with both an all-consuming passion and a growing madness. What if? What would have happened if Séraphine de Senlis had been exposed in 1913, rue Notre Dame des Champs, within Paris, by Wilhelm Uhde, and if the First World War had not occurred?
