Edvard Munch (Part I of II)

Famously described by Ingmar Bergman as a "work of genius", Peter Watkins' multi-faceted masterpiece is more than just a bio-pic of the iconic Norwegian Expressionist painter. Focusing initially on Munch's formative years in late 19th Century Kristiania (now Oslo), Watkins uses his trademark style to create a vivid picture of the emotional, political and social upheavals that would have such an effect on his art. The young artist (Geir Westby) has an affair with "Mrs Heiberg" (Gro Fraas), a devastating experience that will haunt him for the rest of his life, and his work is viciously attacked by the critics and public alike. He is forced to leave his home country for Berlin, where, along with the notorious Swedish playwright August Strindberg, he becomes part of the cultural storm that is to sweep Europe.

    Hunger

    1:51:48 | 1966

    "Writer-director Henning Carlsen and actor Per Oscarsson scrape away everything non-essential from this world-famous Knut Hamsun story. HUNGER paints a landscape of obsession: the realm of a literally starving artist. Pontus, the protagonist in this terrifying tale, is possibly a genius and probably a madman, and he'll waste away before jeopard...
