バルザックの『知られざる傑作』を原作に撮った、ジャック・リヴェット監督作品。孤高の画家フレンホーフェルは、自らの最高傑作“美しき諍い女”を描こうと妻をモデルにするが完成直前に破棄してしまう。そして１０年後。彼の前に、若いモデル、マリアンヌが現れた事から彼は再び“美しき諍い女”の仕上げにとりかかるが……。４時間にも及ぶ上映時間の作品でありながら、全くその長さを感じさせない傑作。セリフの全くない、デッサンを描くシーンでの鉛筆の音だけが響きわたる画家と女との緊張感溢れる場面、そして女（＝人間）の本性をキャンバスに描き込むという本作のテーマが露になる衝撃的なラスト・シーンと、その奥深い哲学的思想には思わず感服してしまう。この作品は、ビデオ化になる際に映画公開時のオリジナル・バージョンの４時間版と、１３１分のショート・バージョンの２タイプが発売されたが、何と言ってもオリジナル４時間版をお勧めする。
