The Mill and the Cross
Mixing live actors with painted backdrops, this visually striking film from director Lech Majewski re-stages the action of "The Procession to Cavalry," the famous 1564 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Rutger Hauer). Parallel to the events of the famous Christian story, the movie relates the tale behind the creation of the work, as Bruegel has encounters with his patron and the woman who inspired his depiction of the Virgin Mary. Based on the book by Michael Francis Gibson. "Visually Ravishing! A unique, immersive museum-meets-cinema experience" - Dennis Harvey, Variety. In English.
