Synopsis
Repères biographiques sur l'artiste mexicaine Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). Ses souvenirs d'enfance, ses souvenirs douloureux aussi : la poliomyélite qui, à l'âge de six ans, atrophie sa jambe droite, son terrible accident d'autobus en 1925, ses fausses couches, les interventions chirurgicales incessantes. La peinture devient le combat de son existence. Elle rencontre le muraliste Diego Rivera qu'elle admire et qu'elle épouse en 1929 : une relation complexe et tumultueuse. Son adhésion aux idées communistes Sa vision du peuple mexicain et de son folklore. Ses références à la culture amérindienne. Sa relation avec le révolutionnaire russe, pourchassé par Staline, Léon Trotski, accueilli avec son épouse, en 1937, dans sa maison familiale, la Casa Azul. Son œuvre picturale reflétant, tout à la fois, son exubérance et son désespoir. Voici le premier passage d'un texte qui, à la façon d'un prologue-résumé du sujet, apparaît dans le film : « De son lit de moribonde, Frida Kahlo, la grande artiste-peintre, reconstruit, en suivant les palpitations authentiques de sa mémoire, c'est-à-dire, de manière décousue et fragmentée, uniquement à travers les images, sa vie et son œuvre incontournable de l'époque du muralisme mexicain.Actors

In 1953, Katherine Ann Watson (Julia Roberts), a 30-year-old graduate student in the department of Art History at Oakland State, takes a position teaching "History of Art" at Wellesley College, a conservative women's private liberal arts college in Massachusetts, because she wants to make a difference and influence the next generation of women. At her first class, Katherine discovers that the girls have already memorized the entire syllabus from the textbook, so she instead uses the classes to introduce them to Modern Art and encourages spirited classroom discussions about topics such as what makes good art and what the Mona Lisa's smile means. This brings her into conflict with the conservative college president (Marian Seldes), who warns Katherine to stick to the syllabus if she wants to keep her job. Katherine comes to know many of the students in her class well and seeks to inspire them to achieve more for themselves as intelligent women than the expected convention of marriage to eligible young men. Joan Brandwyn (Julia Stiles) dreams of being a lawyer and has enrolled as pre-law, so Katherine encourages her to apply to Yale Law School, where she is accepted; Katherine finds her liberal sensibilities affronted when Joan's fiancé Tommy (Topher Grace) comments Joan "will always have that", intimating his own expectations of what his wife should be. Joan eventually elopes with Tommy, and professes to Katherine she is very happy—she had decided that what she wants most is to be a wife and mother after graduation and asks Katherine to respect her choice.

En 1891, à Arles, le facteur Joseph Roulin demande à son fils Armand de remettre une lettre à Théodorus van Gogh, le frère du peintre Vincent van Gogh qui s'est donné la mort. Armand est très récalcitrant : même si Van Gogh avait peint son portrait quelque temps plus tôt, Armand reste persuadé, comme la plupart des gens, que Vincent Van Gogh était un fou plus ou moins dangereux. Armand accepte à contrecœur pour faire plaisir à son père. Mais il apprend que le frère de l'artiste est mort quelques mois plus tard. La mission d'Armand semble ne plus avoir de sens, mais, dans l'intervalle, les premiers éléments qu'il a appris sur la mort du peintre lui ont donné envie d'en savoir plus. Dès lors, Armand se rend à Auvers-sur-Oise pour enquêter sur la vie intime et artistique de Vincent van Gogh.

Contraintes à la clandestinité, ces femmes optent pour la violence afin de faire entendre leurs revendications.

The final years of the short life of Egon Schiele, the Austrian expressionist painter are chronicled against the backdrop of the final years of the Habsburg rule. The story begins around 1912 as Schiele (Mathieu Carriere) and his mistress and artistic muse Wally (Jane Birkin) are befriended by an obsessed teenage girl (Karina Fallenstein) who has run away to be with Schiele. Subsequently Schiele is imprisoned on the grounds that he has behaved in a sexually improper way towards the young woman. The young woman falsely accuses Schiele and although he denies the charge he is imprisoned. The girl withdraws her accusations but Schiele is requested to leave the area as he has offended the social mores of the conservative society in which he was living. Those offended include his mother (Angelika Hauff) who rails against his lax morals.
