Artist in a film one tried to see (5)
I believe the answer is:
monet
'artist' is the definition.
(painter Claude Monet)
'a film one tried to see' is the wordplay.
'MONET' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monet that I've seen before include "French impressionist (Waterlilies)" , "Claude -, French artist" , "French landscape painter" , "French artist shown in ..." , "French Impressionist with famous garden" .)
