Fantastic!
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
The year is in the 1880's. The lead character is the naive painter, Henrich. The story is his life and love for Anna, his childhood sweetheart. The ending as always for all artists is tragic. The production values are high and the scenery is magic. Shame about the script.
