	Movie Info for Edvard Munch on MSN Movies
		Edvard Munch (Geir Westby) was born in 1863 into a well-to-do and privileged family, but he had a unhappy upbringing; his mother and his younger sister died when he was at an impressionable age, and his father was cold, judgmental, emotionally distant, and unsupportive of his ambitions.
		Munch took up painting, but rather than follow the pattern of realism that was common at the time, Munch used unusual color schemes and distressed textures on his canvases to help convey the darker emotions he longed to express.
		Edvard Munch was filmed in the style of a documentary, with characters often addressing the camera as if being "interviewed" and hand-held cameras adding an informal and realistic tone.

	Edvard Munch - Movie Review
		Munch is both maligned and embraced by a culture and a world that was quick (as it seems it remains) to kick the freaks out and at the same time gloat over their shenanigans.
		These bits and pieces of Munch’s life are edited by Watkins into a semblance of a whole picture of a bizarre man and a painful life.
		The measures that made Munch the man he was, so Watkins says, were periods of illness and death – his mother of consumption when he was but a tyke, his sister also to TB, and his own struggle with disease and near-death as a teen.

		Munch's the tortured genius artist driven to madness, whose story is taken from his extensive diary; he earned his international fame from his painting called Scream, whose striking unforgettable images of anxiety and inner terror has become part of the world's consciousness.
		What is remarkable, is how alive this presentation is. It tells how Munch's internal conflicts were exacerbating his already ill health, and when taken over in his last years by increasing isolation and bouts with depression and an eventual nervous breakdown, he still never stopped painting until hospitalized in his final year at 80.
		Watkin's sober-minded personal film is a detailed study of Munch brought to the screen in such a vivid and forceful expressive manner that is worthy of its subject; it captures the spirit of the creative process--which might be the most difficult thing to do when presenting an artist's biography.

	Another look at Edvard Munch's The Scream. - By Mia Fineman - Slate Magazine
		Edvard Munch was born in 1863 and raised in Oslo.
		Though the Munchs were a prominent family of churchmen and intellectuals, Edvard's father was an impoverished army doctor whose hellfire Christianity planted the seeds of religious anxiety in young Edvard.
		Munch chose the former, and spent the next decade living a Bohemian rhapsody of absinthe, opium, syphilis, tortured love affairs, hunger, poverty, and painting.

		From EDVARD MUNCH we recall far more extraordinary feelings of being lifted out of ourselves and thrust back into the very rooms Munch lived in and the into the Scandanavian light he worked in and into the tortured set of his mind as he shrank figures into hard, strong, symbolic forms.
		Munch's complex and ambiguous feelings about women in general, which shaped so much of his work, are not even touched upon, except for his particular relationship with Mrs.

	Felonious Munch - February 21, 2006 - The New York Sun
		One of the most probing dissections of an artist ever attempted on film,"Edvard Munch" is every bit as severe and political as "Punishment Park," framing the artist as an indefatigable visionary trying to illuminate the lives of those who prefer the dark.
		Watkins's portrait, Munch isn't merely a radical expressionist, defying representational dicta to divulge brittle feelings of terror, longing, jealousy, sorrow, dread, guilt, and love.
		"Edvard Munch" tracks only the years of Munch's main artistic breakthroughs (1884-95), but within the context of recurring childhood traumas.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		Watkins divides his narrative into two facets: a documentary voice-over in English that examines Munch in a calm, academic tone, and dramatic scenes in Norwegian with nonprofessional actors, who often stare mutely at the viewer like characters in Munch's paintings.
		The 22-year-old painter's torrid affair with a married woman is intercut with feverish scenes of his mother and sister dying from tuberculosis years earlier, and accounts of the genesis of his paintings are haunted by flashbacks from his sorrowful childhood and love life.
		The scrape of a paintbrush dominates the sound track when Munch is working something out, and later, when he begins to experiment with lithography, Watkins includes a long close-up of the chemicals eating into the metal plate.

		Set in the final year of the Spanish Civil War, as Franco's fascist forces are poised to seize control of the nation, the movie follows young Carlos after he's dropped off for safe-keeping at an orphanage in the middle of nowhere.
		The kids, meanwhile, suffer from an allergy to direct sunlight, so the house is always shuttered and suffused with a muted, soft light that in itself is hugely spooky and suggestive of all sorts of (quite probably awful) secrets.
		There are an awful lot of people who hate this movie, and if jerky hand-held camera action, zero narrative and a sudden ending that seems to resolve nothing are the sorts of things that bother you, then you're probably not a fan.

		Munch first loses any hope of a good reputation at home in Norway, and then abroad where his canvases are ridiculed for either being too grotesque or for being opportunistic, jumping on the caboose of Parisian expressionism.

		Focusing initially on Munch's formative years in late 19th Century Kristiania (now Oslo), Watkins uses his trademark style to create a vivid picture of the emotional, political and social upheavals that would have such an effect on his art.
		The young artist (Geir Westby) has an affair with "Mrs Heiberg" (Gro Fraas), a devastating experience that will haunt him for the rest of his life, and his work is viciously attacked by the critics and public alike.
		I expected Watkins would draw heavily from Munch's journal, but he didn't.

		The way Watkins handles the narration of his film and of Munch's life and art is simply amazing.
		The commentary is never redundant with what is seen on the screen and like the works of Munch, the shape of the movie is like a spiral, where scenes come back over and over, in a repetitive manner, like the paintings/carvings of Munch, who often drew the same subjects.
		It makes you want to see more of Munch's works as well as other movies by Watkins.
