1974 biographical film about the Norwegian Expressionist painter Edvard
Munch, written and directed by Peter Watkins. It was originally created
as a three-part miniseries co-produced by the Norwegian and Swedish
state television networks NRK and SVT, but was subsequently gained an
American theatrical release in a three-hour version in 1976. The film
covers about thirty years of Munch's life, focusing on the influences
that shaped his art, particularly the prevalence of disease and death in
his family and his youthful affair with a married woman. The film was
screened at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, but wasn't entered into the
main competition.
