 Amazon.com: Girl with a Pearl Earring: DVD: Colin Firth,Scarlett Johansson,Tom Wilkinson,Judy Parfitt,Cillian ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
A young girl, Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is employed as a common maid by Catharina (Essie Davis), the artist's haughty wife.
And Davis also acquits herself beautifully in her unsympathetic role of Catarina, and gets besides to deliver the film's most classic line when she finally unveils the title painting that has been kept hidden from her.
Catharina Vermeer (Essie Davis in an underappreciated role) provided exactly the right counterpoint with her vile, snake-in-the-garden-of-artistic-eden presence and her purely burgher mentality and her oppressive jealousy and her high-handed treatment of her servants.

 Jumpers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Essie Davis plays a musical comedy star who becomes a murder suspect in "Jumpers."
Combining weighty musings about such philosophical issues as moral relativism and the existence of God with brilliant wordplay, lowdown physical comedy and hilarious non sequiturs, it is as entertaining as it can be intimidating.
Much of the credit for this must go to the two leads: Beale, beautifully conveying his character's poignant vulnerability as well as his estimable mental prowess, and Davis, as heartbreaking as she is daffy.

 OFFOFFOFF film review GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING movie by Peter Webber with Scarlett Johansson, Colin Firth, Cillian ...
Now, thanks to Lion's Gate Films, you can see the movie, a lavish but unnecessary imagining of how Dutch master Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) might have created his eponymous masterpiece, the one featuring the girl with her hair pulled back off her face by a blue scarf, a pearl earring dangling from her left ear.
And behind the film's lush trappings — exquisite costumes and strategically placed fruit — the film belabors its rather obvious point, that the life of a servant girl is not an easy one.
Griet not only suffers the jealous ire of Vermeer's perpetually pregnant wife (an excellent Essie Davis) and condescending mother-in-law (Judy Parfitt, also impressive) but is also felt up by Vermeer's randy patron (Tom Wilkinson).

 Colin Firth in Girl with a Pearl Earring
Growing up in Tasmania, Essie Davis’s artist father used to tell her that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing well.
In the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring (based on Tracy Chevalier’s fictionalised tale about how Johannes Vermeer was inspired by a scullery maid to paint his masterpiece), Ms Davis has taken the supporting part of Vermeer’s wife Catharina (pictured right, opposite Colin Firth as Vermeer) and turned her into a tortured soul.
When young Griet goes to live and work in the household of Johannes Vermeer, she must maintain her equilibrium in a situation where privacy is hard to come by, the lady of the house, Catharina (Essie Davis), is demanding and perennially pregnant, and her mother, Maria (Judy Parfitt), is tight-fisted and strict.

Nothing drains the life from great art like a well-intentioned attempt to explain away its mysteries.
But Manet married his muse, an alternative unavailable to Vermeer, dissatisfied though he may be with his wife, Catharina (Essie Davis).
Though Girl suggests that his interest in the maid begins because does not consider his wife a suitable subject for his art, this intriguing theory is buried beneath Catharina's function as a means to score easy points against the class system, circa 1665.
