Edvard Munch (1974)

Hands down the best documentary I've ever seen about an artist. Follow the grief-stricken life of Edvard Miunch as you see the progression of his genius.

Another Peter Watkins success. I found this film really evoked the events, emotions, tragedies, times and religious influences that affected Edvard Munch's life and thus his work. He was a great painter but so great the critics and the establishment abhorred his work and thus him. One of his "The Scream" is up for auction at Sotheby's and is estimated to fetch $80 million dollars. Quite an accomplishment for a piece made by an artist that the critics said was insane and that his work was disgusting, unfinished, perverse etc etc Peter Watkins uses a quasi-documentary style to tell the story of Edvard Munch's life and blends in scenes through time back and forth along with music and editing that helps you feel how Edvard felt and what he was going through. At the same time we see him creating his paintings and see the finished products. I highly recommend this film. Ingmar Bergmann said it was a work of genius.

Phenomenal movie from Britain's most unfairly neglected director. Watkins sees Munch's art as being based in his economic situation, his early family life, and the conformist nature of Norwegian society. The film brilliantly balances marxist and documentary approaches with a poetic sense of artistic creation. Anyone interested in art must watch this; it's extraordinarily intelligent and moving, as well as formally innovative and still unique.

Certainly one of the best movies ever made. The actors are brilliant, specially the one playing Munch who has as well an amazing physical resemblance with the original. This is also the only film of fiction that convincingly portraits the creativity required to paint, miles away from Vincent drinks and suddenly he sees the sunflowers blue. The director is an artist himself and uses all the possibilities given by the TV camera. The light and in general the ambiance is unique (cold and inspiring). Despite the fact that Watkins latter said he did not like this bit of his work, the editing is wonderful. It is fast and it tells its own story. It allows Watkins to deal with the childhood memories but in the mean time to escape the Freudian interpretations. There would be many other aspects of the film to praise (costumes, how it deals with Munch's influences, ?) but let me just say one last thing: watch it and you'll never thanks Watkins enough to have made the pleasure last 3 hours.

I too saw the 212 minute version, and although I can't see me rushing to see it again any time soon, it's certainly a unique and full experience of the processes and experiences that shape an artists life and not a boring one. A docudrama way before the phrase had been coined, it's not like anything else I can think of, and i've seen at least 10 films.
