A work of art and perfection. May I never forget! I learned so much and felt transported into this world and painting. I feel I can experience works of art in greater depth in the future too. There is much in the details. God's grace is…

this was a surprisingly inventive way to get inside a Bruegel painting. although I love the overall look of his paintings I have found it a visual overload to look too closely. this was a wonderful lesson on how he painted in sections and…

This is a 2011 Polish-Swedish fantasy-drama directed by Lech Majewski, inspired by Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1564 painting "The Procession to Calvary" and based on Michael Francis Gibson's book "The Mill and the Cross." With a series of…

A very interesting film. I love Bruegel's paintings so this was a different way to experience the social and political context of his art work. Makes me glad I did not live during the middle ages in Europe. It was a brutal time.

Beautiful photography, great cast, a trivial, adolescent theme. Could have been a contender but it's too slow moving for the pea-brains who might otherwise appreciate the ravens picking the eyes out of corpses and other graphic gratuitous…

Destined to be one of my top 10 films for 2011, this visually stunning meditation on Christ’s passion, complete with political and historical overtones, takes Pieter Bruegel’s richly detailed 16th century painting The Way to Calvary and,…

The 'painterly' lighting is lovely,.. but this exploration of a masterpiece is not interesting enough to sit through for an entire movie ! And there is little explanation about the historical or social context of the original.

Gorgeous movie directed by Lech Majewski based on a Pieter Bruegel masterpiece, "The Way to the Calvery". Recommend this one!

A beautiful, and in places disturbing, film. Very artistic, and about artistry. Talks about symbolism in the painting, and uses symbolism to do a version of the passion. Very little dialogue, and a slow and languid pace, which is…

This is an unusual documentary. No talking heads, just little narratives about the personalities and objects in this crowded peasant scene by Pieter Breugel the Elder, a Flemish painter from the 16th century. The narratives are not…

The old expression: "As dull as watching paint dry" couldn't be more fitting than when applied to this monumentally boring opus! Viewing this yawner, was akin to what it might have been like watching the old Dutch Master paint-brush his…
