I saw the movie ‘The Mill and The Cross’ very recently; had to leave it mid-way because i couldn’t understand much of it. The movie was intriguing in some harsh way, though, so i just did some reading on the net afterwards and watched the remaining part of the film – it had a different meaning thereafter. I’d like to watch it again some time, complete in one sitting
The link below is to an interview with the director Lech Majewski – one could catch a glimpse of the philosophy behind the idea and its execution.

Do see if you could get to read about the film, the painting, and then if possible watch the movie.
