Nov 19, Dec 3: Movie- Munch: Love, Ghosts and Lady Vampires

There is no painter in the world both more famous and less known than Edvard Munch. The debt contemporary culture has towards Munch is impressive, from Andy Warhol to Ingmar Bergman, from Marina Abramovich to Jasper Johnes.

Munch: Love, Ghosts and Lady Vampires sounds like a grim and potentially ghastly way to spend 90 minutes. And yet, this is an enjoyable film, celebrating a man who wrestled a lot of joy, romance and beauty out of the morass of poverty, madness and those endless winters he had been born into.

If Munch’s painting has become a symbol and at the same time an omen of the tragedies of the twentieth century, his art has travelled new and experimental roads of extraordinary modernity. Today, however, it is his city, Oslo, which sets a turning point for the knowledge of Munch: the birth of a new museum. This documentary will start from there to shed light on a man and an artist with singular charm, a precursor and a master.
