Ils s’aimaient comme on aime à treize ans : révoltes, curiosité, espoirs, doutes, filles, rêves de gloires, ils partageaient tout. Paul est riche. Emile est pauvre. Ils quittent Aix, « montent » à Paris, hantent les mêmes lieux, dorment avec les mêmes femmes, crachent sur les bourgeois, se baignent nus, crèvent de faim puis mangent trop, boivent de l’absinthe… Aujourd’hui Paul est peintre. Emile est écrivain. La gloire est passée sans regarder Paul. Emile lui a tout : la renommée, l’argent une femme parfaite que Paul a aimé avant lui. Ils se jugent, s’admirent, s’affrontent. Ils se perdent, se retrouvent, comme un couple qui n’arrive pas à cesser de s’aimer.

Cezanne and I (2016)
117 min
They loved each other with the ardor of thirteen-year-old boys. Rebellion and curiosity, hopes and doubts, girls and dreams of glory – they shared it all. Paul was rich, Emile poor. They went skinny-dipping, drank absinthe, starved, only to overeat. Sketched models by day, caressed them by night... Now, Paul is a painter and Emile a writer. Glory has passed Paul by. But Emile has it all: fame, money, the perfect wife, whom Paul once loved. They judge each other, admire each other, confront each other. They lose touch, meet up again, like a couple who cannot stop loving each other.
