La Belle Noiseuse tells the story of an artist (Michel Piccoli) who ten years previously, abandons his greatest masterpiece, a painting of his wife (Jane Birkin) entitled "La Belle Noiseuse". His inspiration is rekindled when he encounters the beautiful and fascinating Marianne (Emmanuelle Beart) to return to the unfinished canvas using her as his new model. As the new work begins, disturbing tensions begin to develop and the reasons for the painting's original rejection begin to surface. (Accent Film Entertainment)

The four hours the film lasts really frightened me. Well, as I found out, quite rightly so. I quite enjoyed the scenes where painting is involved, honestly, probably the most, but it's definitely not something I could endure watching for four hours. The film has something to say, and a message to convey, and some might adore it. But it was just too long for me.
