![]() ![]() ![]() From a long-lost Renoir springs a girl to share heady romance with Julien. Soon, at the Louvre, paintings are flooding and burning themselves. He’s first to see when a “peach falls out of a Cézanne” and a girl “dance her way right out of a Degas.” He perceives Renoirs inexplicably losing their color before anyone else does. Despite the present-day setting (iPods texting), museum security is presented as (as Julien explains) “a myth,” with no electronic or technological surveillance to inhibit his night roaming.

Famous paintings, fantasy and wish-fulfillment romance blend in contemporary Paris.įrench teen Julien feels merely adequate, but his privileges and abilities are improbably golden. ![]()
