Definitely a challenging film, constructed with documentary realism at the beginning, progressing to be more layered and collaged towards the end. This effect parallels, to some extent, the progression of Munch’s challenging content. Very powerful and as a work itself it can stand in context with Munch’s art.
The film is also useful in illuminating European fin de siècle attitudes around politics, sexuality, the role of women.
I do wish i had known “it was originally created as a three-part miniseries” as it is a bit long for one sitting.
