Based on the true life of Cornelia Hubertina (Neel) Doff (Monique van de Ven) born into poverty and worked her way into the gentry class as a model for famous Dutch artists at the turn of the century...and that prostitution thing. Her work as an author for the working class is left as an end note in the film.
I watched the film as part of a 50 DVD collection. The restoration wasn't there and the dubbing left much to be desired. Katie has a passion for life and wrote about her poverty as an autobiography. We see her posing for the art world, but even that was glanced over as they crammed her life into 100 minutes. It is worth a watch from an historical perspective, but the film is not overly entertaining.
Guide: No swearing. Sex, rape, FF Nudity
