Drama Fernando Trueba, one of the most prestigious filmmakers in Spain, has set his latest film somewhere in occupied France in the summer of 1943, not far from the Spanish border. An old renowned sculptor, tired of life and mankind’s folly, rediscovers the desire to work and sculpt his last piece thanks to the arrival of a young Spanish woman who has escaped from a refugee camp.

United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"The lovely and poignant drama 'The Artist and the Model' stirringly presents art, life and death as one irrevocably tangled trio"	POS
United States	Eric Hynes Time Out	"[Trueba and Carriere] imbue the material with genuine feeling-exploring the melancholy of waning days and a defiantly naive belief in artistic transcendence (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
