La Belle Noiseuse:  There is first God, then relationships and then art.  This film is a mediation on how relationships get mixed up in the artistic process and are in tension with each other, both processes consciously or unconsciously striving toward the godhead, the great truth.  When the artist arrives he is humbled--the work of absolute truth, transcendent truth, is greater than all the disharmony in our relentless pursuit of the godhead.
