This is a little gem of a movie. It is in fact multimedia, as it coalesces cartoons, still photos of Monet, his paintings, his living room, and footage of the flowers enchanting the Giverny Gardens to this day. In the garden we find all the major Monet symbols: the bridge, the boat, the bench, the waterlilies. This movie is impressionistic itself, as it gives us a flavor of Monet seen through the eyes of a little talented girl. Adorable!
