Synopsis

'Cezanne and I' is a biographical French drama based on the close friendship between the 19th century novelist Émile Zola and painter Paul Cézanne. The film is written and directed by Daniéle Thompson, and is set in 1888, telling the story of the close friendship of Cézanne and Zola whilst also depicting the social differences between the two. It is a story of two very different, but two very similar friends who have shared many memories. They left their town for Paris and quickly became part of the art culture of the city as they hung out in the same places and even slept with the same women. The movie is produced by Albert Koski and is distributed by Magnolia Pictures. The cast includes actors such as Guillaume Gallienne, Guillaume Canet, Alice Pol and Déborah François.
