首先吐槽一下这他妈该死的翻译。《阿尔特米西亚》不就好了吗？还有《卡米尔》，非要翻译成罗丹的情人，作死啊。
-----------正题
这部戏是美学课上李正天教授给我们放的。这部片子说不上很好，但是也有值得借鉴的地方。
阿尔特米西亚*真蒂莱斯基是美术史上第一位有记载的著名的女性艺术家。作为卡拉瓦乔黑暗主义的追随者，她的作品以力量与激情著称。
这部片子更像是一个profile，截取了她性格、艺术风格养成的重要阶段。从她开始脱下自己的上衣描绘自己的身体开始，一直到tessi入狱，她离开罗马。
阿尔特米西亚从小就对人体结构感兴趣，她小小个就开始学会在黑暗中，偷偷拿着蜡烛，描绘自己的乳房。她进入到工作坊后，她一直渴望着能够见识一下男人的身体，但是“教皇下令女人不得描绘男人的裸体”，连男模特的裸体都不能看。但是这一切都不能阻止她的好奇心、与激情。
她叫了佛多（好像叫这个……）脱下他的衣服，给她做模特。佛多一脸尴尬与不适应，阿尔特米西亚可管不了这么多，兴奋地向他的身体摸索，看看PP与小鸡鸡，放今天就是个女流氓……
同时，画家内心的欲望被点燃了。她观看到一对男女在户外做爱，跑过去感受一下余温；她窥视着在tessi画室里一边做爱、美名其曰当模特的男男女女，然后马上跑回去默写出那一幕幕的激情……
与此形成对比的是，在那些男性画家里的女性裸体模特，赤裸裸走来走去，毫不遮掩，就像一堆货物一般：你，太瘦了，你怎么样怎么样……
阿尔特米西亚遇见了tessi。tessi是那种典型的“我有JB我怕谁”的男性画家，私生活真可谓乱乱乱乱。结果，他遇上了阿尔特米西亚，一个不甘心当模特、有着极高天分的女人。他一开始极度讨厌此女，与他的价值观“女人只是模特”完全不符。最后，爱欲战胜了理智。
他们相爱了。
他们的爱可不是凡夫俗子、也不是画家与模特的爱，那是两个艺术家的爱，他们相互学习，相互提升，在爱欲之海里发现自我、爆发出无穷的魔力。
在这段感情中，阿尔特米西亚是占据主导的。她让tessi为她做模特，她，用女性的目光来审视男性。连做爱，她也是女上位啊，tessi保持着荷诺芬尼的姿势，她站在上面，来，小子，来来伸出你的手指……
（说实话，电影中对这种艺术的灵魂伴侣描写不够好，更像是大叔勾搭萝莉……）
可惜外界不是这么看的，他们把这件事理解为男画家跟少女乱搞，或者少女诱惑男人，反正就不是两情相悦。
她那老爹、陪审团就是男权社会的代表，在他们的世界，女人只有两种，良家妇女、整天围着丈夫转来转去的；要不就是妓女、整天勾引男人的犯罪。这种二元划分，很明显就是物化女性，看不到女性的多元性。
有一处很有意思，judge向大家展示阿尔特米西亚的好几幅男性性器官的习作，他说”这不是一个艺术家的作品，而是一个女人的作品“。
艺术，很多时候是被肉欲所激发的，男性情欲在作品中都能找到很好的题材来表达（susanna入浴啊、萨宾妇女等等），但是女性情欲却不能找到一个很好的题材，所以它只能是私人化的，而私人化的作品当时又是个禁忌，特别是情欲的私人化作品……
（话说，《朱迪斯杀死荷诺芬尼》真的在这个时候画的吗？）
最后，他们还是分开了，在男权社会的压力之下，好端端的艺术情欲被妖魔化、庸俗化、被迫以这种结局分开。
最后阿尔特米西亚离开了罗马，去了佛罗伦萨，历史上她是结婚了才去佛罗伦萨的。
到了佛罗伦萨后，她的作品受到大众的欢迎。她的作品富含力量、明暗对比强烈（晚年她吸收了学院派的风格）、大量采用诸如苏珊娜出浴、朱迪斯等题材。饱含了对这个不公平的社会的控诉。

电影的不足
电影想表达她作为一个艺术家的天赋与激情、同时她作为一个搞艺术的女性在男权社会遭遇的悲剧，但是这两者似乎兼顾不来，到后来干脆有滑向琼瑶剧的倾向。。
同时，导演有明显的倾向，本片是否完全符合史实不得而知。

In 1611, her father was working with Agostino Tassi to decorate the vaults of Casino della Rose inside the Pallavicini Rospigliosi Palace in Rome, so Orazio hired the painter to tutor his daughter privately. During this tutelage, Tassi raped Artemisia. Another man, Cosimo Quorlis had helped Tassi with the rape. After the initial rape, Artemisia continued to have sexual relations with Tassi, with the expectation that they were going to be married. However, Tassi reneged on his promise to marry Artemisia after he heard the rumour that she was having an affair with another man. Orazio pressed charges against Tassi after he learned that Artemisia and Tassi were not going to be married (nine months after the rape). Orazio also claimed that Tassi stole a painting of Judith from the Gentileschi household. The major issue of this trial was the fact that Tassi had taken Artemisia's virginity. If Artemisia had not been a virgin before Tassi raped her, the Gentileschis would not have been able to press charges. In the ensuing seven-month trial, it was discovered that Tassi had planned to murder his wife, had enjoined in adultery with his sister-in-law and planned to steal some of Orazio’s paintings. During the trial, Artemisia was given a gynecological examination and was tortured using thumbscrews. At the end of the trial Tassi was sentenced to imprisonment for one year, although he never served the time. The trial influenced the feminist view of Artemisia Gentileschi during the late 20th century.

Artemisia:
The Rape and the Trial
The Trial and Its Background
Little is known about the circumstances under which Agostino Tassi was charged for raping Artemisia Gentileschi, but scholars believe that her father heard rumors and confronted them both. Both Cosimo Quorli (who had tried but failed to rape Artemisia, who had stolen one of her paintings, and who had helped Agostino plan visits to her house when her father was absent) were charged. The trial lasted for seven months in 1612, and received considerable publicity.
The transcripts of the trial, included in Mary Garrard's Artemisia Gentileschi, reveal that:
a) Tuzia, supposedly an older friend of Artemisia who lived in the same house as the Gentileschi's, betrayed Artemisia by letting Agostino in to Artemisia's house through her apartment.
b) Agostino was a convicted rapist, who had previously served time in jail, and had been known to have raped both his sister-in-law and his previous wife. His wife was missing, presumed dead, and everyone believed that he had hired bandits to kill her. Artemisia did not know that he was married until the middle of the trial.
c) Agostino was obsessed with Artemisia, had prevented her from marrying Modenese, whom her father had arranged for her to marry, had spied on her and hired men to watch her around the clock, and had been known to have many jealous rages in regard to her proximity to other men. He also had bragged to many that he had deflowered her.
d) Since the first sexual encounter, Agostino had been continually promising Artemisia that he would marry her, and continually postponing the marriage, but using his promise as a means of convincing her to continue sexual relations with him.
During the trial, Artemisia was tortured with the sibille, thumbscrews, involving cords of rope tied around her hands and pulled tightly, in order to "prove" that she was telling the truth. During the torture, which of course seriously injured her hands, she was repeatedly asked whether or not Tassi had raped her, and she continually responded, "it is true, it is true."
Artemisia's Testimony
Artemisia testified that on the pretext of looking at a painting near the bedroom, Agostino pushed her into the bedroom, threw her on the bed, covered her mouth so that she could not shout, and forcibly entered her. Resisting, she scratched his face and even threw a knife at him, slightly wounding him in the chest, but was not able to stop him. Afterwards, surprised that she was a virgin, he promised to marry her. "What I was doing with him, I did only so that, as he had dishonored me, he would marry me," she said in defense of the continuing sexual relationship which Agostino demanded.
Artemisia also testified that she had never been alone with any men outside her family except for Tassi, and said, "I have never had any sexual relations with any other person besides the said Agostino." After she learned he was married, she spoke directly to him, "I was hoping to have you as a husband, but now I don't because I know that you have a wife." Whether she was hoping to marry him only to reclaim her sullied honor or because she eventually fell in love with him is unclear.
Agostino's Testimony
Agostino Tassi's testimony was so blatantly false and contradictory that the judge had to stop on several occasions to ask him to stop lying. First, Agostino stated, "Never have I had carnal relations nor tried to have it with the said Artemisia... I've never been alone in Artemisia's house with her." He then claimed that he visited and kept watch over her house in order to safeguard her honor.
Over a seven months time period, Agostino claimed that Artemisia (who could not write) wrote erotic letters to many men, slept repeatedly with five different men (Pasquino, Modenese, Stiatressi et al.), and had had incest with her father who also sold her once for a loaf of bread. He referred to her, as well as her dead mother, aunts and sisters as whores who catered to a continual stream of men in the Gentileschi house. Agostino also said that he did not stop Modenese from marrying her, but that he had refused to marry her because she was a whore and her house was a bordello.
Witnesses
The primary witness in defense of Artemisia was Giovanni Stiattesi, a confidante of both Agostino and Cosimo, who claimed that Cosimo was angry at being sexually rejected by Artemisia, and helped Agostino plan his visits in accordance with her father's absence so that he could get back at Artemisia through Agostino. Other witnesses testified in regard to the chaste reputation of Artemisia and the morals of her family.
However Agostino brought in a parade of six witnesses who claimed that Artemisia was a nude model for male artists and a whore, and that her father sold her to men. The testimonies of some of these witnesses was so outrageous that even the judge intervened several times and accused them of lying. Agostino's primary witness however, was Tuzia, who claimed that Artemisia was openly seductive with Agostino and that that Agostino was obsessed with Artemisia. "He tormented me when he could not come in and talk to her," Tuzia declared.
The Verdict
Unfortunately, the last few pages and the verdict of the court transcripts are missing. We can suspect, however, that Agostino Tassi was convicted, as he was held in prison for eight more months after the trial, but then released prematurely by the judge who apparently pardoned him. Her father, Orazio, also filed suit against six of Agostino's witnesses for bearing false witness.
One month after the trial, to salvage her reputation, Artemisia was married to a relative of the witness, Pietros Antonio de Stiattesi, and moved to Florence; she and her husband separated a few years later.
