Review of The Mill and the Cross (2011) by Vinegar — 21 Oct 2011
This literal and slavish reproduction of the painting was impressive in its verisimilitude but ultimately pointless.There is no character, no narrative, no emotion in this piece, but there is lots of wooden "acting".
Watch Greenaway and Jarman for far more interesting, subtle, inspiring films on symbolism, painting, and the artistic impulse.
