Synopsis:

KATIA AND MARIELLE LABEQUE in THE LOVES OF EMMA BARDAC, A FRENCH IMPRESSIONIST MUSICAL DOCUDRAMA

Widely acclaimed as the most brilliant piano duo on the contemporary scene, Katia and Marielle Labeque perform eighteen pieces of Bizet, Faure and Debussy while appearing both as themselves and as actresses in Thomas Mowrey's spellbinding impressionistic synthesis of fin de siecle French art and music. Dreams and fantasies mingle with reality in a continuous interweaving of time present with times past and live action with paintings and photographs, as actors on-screen and off tell the dramatic story of Emma Bardac - muse to Gabriel Faure and Claude Debussy, and lover of both - and of the daughters, Dolly and Chouchou, whom she bore to each of them

Also featuring an excerpt from Claude Debussy's Prelude a Pres-midi d'un faune played by New Philharmonia Orchestra Pierre Boulez, conductor.

And 70 paintings by Renoir, Monet, Tissot, Cassatt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Morisot, Degas, Manet, Seurat, Vuillard
