This biopic of Norwegian Expressionist painter Edvard Munch focuses on the influences that shaped his art, his devastating affair with a married woman that will haunt him for the rest of his life, and his time in Berlin, where he fled to after being viciously attacked by critics and public alike.
Peter Watkins’s majestic biopic of the painter of “The Scream” envelops reality and drama with a breathtaking depth of historical research. This uncut version, originally made for TV, speaks to both the painter and the director’s sense of alienation and uncompromising approach to artistic creation.
