    I hate it even more when English movie making ( from the US I am used to it , in recent time ) do produce such a frustation.

  I knew you could do it.
  The greatest surprise was at the end when they showed the actual eponymous painting. How superior, even filmed, to all the movie's attempted imaging.
  I bet Vermeer had a sense of humor. Why do artists always have to be so sombre in movies? Or why are people in period movies usually portrayed as so stuffy? Surely, Chaucer, Berlioz, and that fellow who wrote "The Decameron" debunked that long ago?

    But we all should be grateful to him - quite a work. I would love to see the TV maxi-series based on that work!

    Vermeer's life was not all that gloomy... he spent most of it making children, and painting a little in between.

    To reevaluate this film!
    And yet you are right, the best moment almost religious is when they shoe " the real thing "....
    They were very calvinistic at that period or austere as we say in France, look at Geneve and you still can ffeel it. That did not disturb me.

  Gorgeous is my word for the film. The story is nearly unimportant to the work as an artistic event. The recreation of the era, set decoration, costumes were all superb. It was a visual feast. Too bad this kind of film cannot be made in America.

    Yet not enough to be a called a good film. I wrote like a painting of Vermeer, and they are beautiful and superb.
    AND no nudity scene of sweet Scarlett, and that my friend it is VERY frustating...

        Imagine her being painted by Cranach ( not Picasso she may have in the end with four or more breast, And I am quite confident than her two are more than enough for our visual ( not so good as tasting but..) pleasure.
        In this film her lips are obscene, good grieve I do love that!

          I had a chance to admire that Cranach just two months ago at Hermitage... what a great work... looks like tin has grown since then, though!

          There was that old Soviet joke about the artist who's work was pulled from the exhibition.

          His friend asks what was on the canvas. He sez: "Oh, I had that blue-blue sea, and above - that blue-blue sky, and in the middle that golden sand, and on the sand a naked woman, with a boy liying on her chest..."

          "So what's the problem? "

          "They said too big a boy!"
