Jacques Doillon's Rodin Biopic Panned at Cannes

Jacques Doillon's film 'Rodin', which premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, has been met with harsh reviews from critics. The movie focuses on Auguste Rodin's life and work, starting with his first public commission in 1880 at age 40: 'The Gates of Hell', which led to masterpieces like 'The Thinker' and 'The Kiss'. It also explores his tumultuous relationships with his wife Rose and his assistant and fellow artist Camille Claudel. Despite its release in French theaters, critics have panned it: The Guardian called it 'embarrassingly bad', while Variety described it as a 'boring and slow two-hour lesson'.
