Girl with a Pearl Earring

Set in 17th century Holland, this evocative drama of forbidden love and erotic tension stars Scarlett Johansson as Griet, an innocent young woman sent to work in the household of mysterious painter Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth). Despite his wife's protestations about their new maid, Vermeer begins to see intelligence and understanding flickering in her eyes and slowly, tentatively lets her in to his private world of oils, canvasses and concentration. But the ramifications of this tender and intimate bond will be explosive when Vermeer asks his young muse to secretly pose for his latest painting. Based on the international best seller by Tracy Chevalier. With Tom Wilkinson, Judy Parfitt and Cillian Murphy.
