A substantial part of the movie is the poetic envoirment that it depicts, its a psychological analysis which goes deep within human emotions and thoughts of jeolusy, love, death, sex, critic against christianity and feminist initiative. Its an experimental film in a technical sense. The one thing that striked me most was that the actor arent afraid of looking straight in the camera.
The duty of a biopic is to tell the story it represent exactly how it should be told. And in Peter Watkins three and a half hour long "Edvard Munch", it focuses on what Edvard himself valued important, it respects it depictor and thus makes it a worthy biography of a mans life with regards for the man. Edvard Munch is the greatest example of one art form illuminating another through its own unique means.
Though it becomes a bit confusing towards the middle and the end. Its begining of about 2 hours is very good, afterwards it goes down hill, it is still good but not as much.
