"La belle noiseuse"
It is the title of a french film, you can leave it in french.
Now if you want to translate "noiseuse" there was in the movie the ambiguity between "niais" and "noise" :
Dix ans déjà que Jacques Rivette reçut à Cannes le Grand Prix du Jury pour son très long (240 minutes) 15e long métrage, La Belle Noiseuse
Petite anecdote d'intérêt local : Marianne, au début du film, explique à son conjoint la signification du mot noiseuse, à la lumière d'un souvenir du Québec où elle confond le mot (dérivé de noise) avec celui de niaiseuse, couramment employé ici et dérivé de niais.

Loosely translated, "La Belle Noiseuse" means "the beautiful nut"; its subject is a woman who drives men to distraction.
