Famously described by the late Ingmar Bergman as "a work of genuis", Peter Watkins' multi-faceted msterwork is more than just a biopic of the iconic Norwegian Expressionist painter, it is one of the best films ever made about the artistic process.

Focusing intially on Munch's formative years in the 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.
