Recent reworkings of Camille Claudel’s story show how hard it is to see her, either as a sculptor of genius or as a muse and mistress of the more famous Rodin. An existence as an unattached but impure woman, a sculptor not only of female but of male nudes, consigned her to the madhouse. The different treatments of her life in 1988’s “Camille Claudel” and 2013’s “Camille Claudel 2015” try to take the focus away from her collaboration with Rodin, but the visual nature of film relies on two different treatments of nudity to depict her fate.
