 Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Brush With Fate (2003)
Based upon the novel by popular contemporary author Susan Vreeland, Brush with Fate is unusual in that it is more the biography of a painting and the lives that work has touched than strictly a tale of humans.
The painting in question is a "lost" Vermeer masterpiece, "Girl in Hyacinth Blue," and its purpose seems to be bringing a jolt of pure beauty to the lives it touches, and perhaps teaching them to let it go.
If you are at all interested in art or art history, you will appreciate this movie for what it is: a demonstration of the power of art and how art can brighten even the darkest life, or touch the darkest heart.
