The film shows us how Monet emerged from his depression, which almost forced him to give up painting, to devote himself to his most colossal undertaking, the Grand Décoration, which consists of huge panels depicting his water lily pond. The work was later to be exhibited during the opening of the Musée de L’Orangerie in May 1927 by his friend George Clemenceau, but Monet died five months before the fateful day and was never able to see his last work exhibited. Monet’s Water Lilies. A Spell of Water and Light will be released in Italian theaters on Nov. 26, 27 and 28.
