法国人自己拍摄的关于18世纪法国文豪巴尔扎克的生平传奇，由大鼻子扮演的巴尔扎克是本片最大的看点，电影围绕着这位桀骜不驯的怪才不平淡的一生，把他的婚姻、爱情、小说创作和家庭关系一一进行剖析，突破了过往对巴尔扎克的完美塑造，将他描绘成一个性格古怪、脾气暴躁、风流倜傥、最后因痴肥而卧床不起的失败男人--也许事业上是成功者，但生活上他是个地地道道的失败者。 　　阿尔当扮演的女子是巴尔扎克在生命弥留时的最大安慰，整部戏很有文艺味道，影片将那无可奈何式的人生落幕表现得很哀惋。

The new series on Renaissance painting, written and presented by Matthew Collings, begins with an artistic investigation into one of the most radiant and beautiful images in all of art history, The Madonna of the Meadow, painted in 1505 by Raphael. 　　Renaissance art has become part of the 21st-century heritage industry but when Raphael was alive, it was a startling new form of visual expression, and Raphael's vibrant 'realism' was striking and fresh. It became the model for western art for the next 400 years, right up until the birth of Modernism. 　　As much as it was a cultural 'rebirth', the Renaissance was also a revolution in ideas about reality. Matthew Collings sets out to remind us of how radical Renaissance paintings were when they were made, as well as opening our eyes to what is still truly great about them. In this programme he deconstructs The Madonna of the Meadow with the help of the very latest high-resolution digital technology, which allows him to explore the inner secrets of Raphael's painterly effects with a clarity and at a level of detail never before seen on television. 　　As Matthew says, it is a journey 'to the other side of an illusion', revealing how Raphael created the alluring images that were so appealing to his wealthy Renaissance clients - including the Pope - and which entranced artists for centuries after his death. Matthew explains the secret to Raphael's vibrant colour harmonies, which the artist grasped intuitively, long before the advent of colour 'theory'; and Raphael also knew how to exploit colour effects to create the impression of extraordinary depth in his paintings.
