The film director Danielle Thompson inspires herself by the friendship full of dramaturgy between the famous novelist Emile Zola and the famous painter Paul Cézanne for making a movie about a last meeting in Meudon (1888). Danielle Thompson chooses Guillaume Canet and Guillaume Gallienne for performing these both giants because they physically look like to them and she also incites the actors to read Zola novels or to begin painting. The movie follows the aim to depict the last meeting between Emile Zola and Paul Cézanne towards memories. The novelist and the painter meet them together for the first time at the Aix - en - Provence school. Emile Zola wants to becomes a writer and Paul Cézanne will be his first reader. Paul Cézanne tries training Emile Zola in painting but the novelist is only attracted by words. The both go to Paris in 1858 leading a Bohemian life until 1862 living without any money, reading a lot, hunting same women but theur careers will take different ways. The novelist Emile Zolla will become to be the leader of the naturalist movement and will create the concept of intellectual. During that time the painter Paul Cézanne vegetates. The movie suggests that the friendship is broken after the Meudon meeting but the historic reality is much different. In 1866 the novelist Emile Zola writes a book names "L'Oeuvre" where he explains the falling down of the painter Claude Lantier. Lantier paints like a genius but nobody understands his art work. Claude Lantier misses his private life and kills himself in front of a canvas. Paul Cézanne reads the book and think that Emile Zola wishes his own falling. Paul Cézanne breaks the friendship with Emile Zola and he will never speak with him anymore except in a letter written in 1886.
