Story
Guinevere tells the story of Connie, an aging Bohemian photographer who meets Harper, a young woman from an affluent family headed for Harvard Law. Recognizing her potential and beauty, he takes her under his wing as his protégé and pupil, renaming her 'Guinevere'. The relationship between the much older Connie and younger Harper develops, with Harper blossoming under Connie's tutelage but eventually feeling stifled by their dynamic. When she discovers that she is merely the latest in a string of ingenues named Guinevere, she leaves him. However, she returns later, driven by her desire to pursue photography seriously and escape her dysfunctional family. On a trip to Los Angeles to sell some photographs, Harper finally takes her first photograph, marking her artistic awakening but also signaling the beginning of the end for their mentor-protégé relationship.
Summary
Guinevere is a 1999 drama film directed by Audrey Wells, focusing on the complex relationship between an aging photographer and his young protégé. The story draws inspiration from the real-life relationship between Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, but it is important to note that this is not a biopic. Instead, it's a fictional exploration of their dynamic, with characters named Connie and Harper respectively. The film delves into themes of artistic growth, mentor-protégé relationships, and the complexities of intergenerational romances. It also offers insights into the world of photography and the bohemian lifestyle. Although the sources provided vary in detail, they all agree on the core relationship between Connie and Harper, with some discrepancies in the specific events leading up to their eventual separation.
