Truly Dreadful Film
Best movie of this year hands down!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Blistering performances.
The year is in the 1880's. The lead character is the naive painter, Henrich. The story is his life and love for Anna, his childhood sweetheart. The ending as always for all artists is tragic. The production values are high and the scenery is magic. Shame about the script.
