The most visually striking film

76.99.174.122

Victor Khomenko

Without any hesitation I give the award to The Mill and the Cross.

Somewhat linked to tin's post, this Polish film deconstructs Pieter Bruegel's paintings with visual effect that I have not yet experienced.

I have always loved his works, and seeing them become live on HD screen was a very special event indeed. True to the original to the point of being ridiculous, these images will linger in your mind.

I don't recall another film that I have watched with such nearly physical pleasure in a long, long time.

Don't know about Greenaway, but this one surely rocks and is a MUST for anyone who appreciates fine art. Might not be the best film you have seen, but will surely be one of the most memorable and striking!

Thanks! I am a true admirer of Brueghel. Greenaway's is for art lovers ONLY. - tinear 15:32:40 01/18/13 (0)
And, it helps if you like both Rembrandt AND Greenaway.
It's excessive, his reach exceeds his grasp, but it's fun in an English cerebral way. It also is a companion to his film dramatic film about that same subject.
Embarrassing post-script: I indeed have already seen your film; I liked it and it is a better visual treat than the Rembrandt, though I found it overall a bit weak (gave it 3 stars). It's always a pleasure to see the intelligent Rutger Hauer at work, though.
