Edvard Munch

The film is shot like a documentary about this great painter's life. But the director's marxist vision makes the film so special. By his montage we see the layers of this individual artist's life: historical and social context, general art history, european history of the early 20th century, his personal history all enmeshed together. The film is very exciting runs smoothly however is 220 mins long. Never before in my life I did not get bored with such a long film. I'm hooked on to Watkins now.
