What La Belle Noiseuse Is About
An old painter decides to return to a canvas he abandoned years ago and starts working with a young woman. Jacques Rivette spends most of the film in the studio and refuses to abbreviate the drawing: the scratch of the pencil, the changes of pose, the waiting. The running time close to four hours is the argument rather than a boast, because the subject is not inspiration but two people wearing each other down in order to produce something. The relationship between painter and model is plainly about power, not romance, and the film declines to soften that.
