Artemisia (1998 - 95 Minutes) - The 17th century is no place for a budding female artist -- even for Artemisia Gentileschi (Valentina Cervi), the teenage daughter of one of the most revered Italian painters. Barred from fully practicing her art, she finds a tutor -- and a lover -- in painter Agostino Tassi (Miki Manojlovic), who was later tried for her rape. Based on actual events, the film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
