EDVARD MUNCH

This powerful 1974 biopic about the Norwegian Expressionist Edvard Munch explores the formative influences on his art: his childhood, marked by serious illness; the early death of his mother and several siblings; a fateful affair with a married woman; and his move to Berlin.

There he sought refuge after being met with hostility by critics and audiences alike – experiences that left a lasting mark on him and his work. British film director Peter Watkins described the film, which was also shown as a series on Norwegian and Swedish television, as one of his most personal works.

With an introduction by Sandra Gianfreda, curator of the exhibition.
