3.0 out of 5 stars Too long... Feb 11 2012
By Toronto Lad
Format:DVD
This movie is too long. A good half hour could be edited out...too much fill. Main actor's biggest part is essentially staring back st the camera! Never touches on his life and art after his breakdown. Film focuses on the "social" condition in Norway during his lifetime which,again,counts for little as it was the same in most of Europe anyway, so no real "Munch-oriented" detail. Flashbacks to scene of his dying sister number over 10. Why this incessant repetition at the expense of more interesting aspects of his life are beyond me. Again..lost opportunities by the writer/producer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watkins would change the world if anyone cared to Oct 14 2003
By Jon C. McNeill
Format:VHS Tape
Edvard Munch is the Citizen Kane that nobody saw. From a storytelling point of view, its portrayal of the constant torment that led to Munch's art is oddly enthralling throughout its 3+ hr length. From a filmmaking point of view, Munch is like no other (except, perhaps, Watkins other later work). To my knowledge, no one has so expertly reproduced the personal thoughts and internal feelings of a man on screen as Watkins does in Munch. Sounds, images, narration, recollections--all float in and out of Munch's consciousness and into ours during this captivating biography on the Norwegian artist most famous for "The Shriek."
Perhaps every aspect of this film is avant-garde, from its editing all the way down to its casting (many parts were played by non-professionals), but perhaps no other movie has enveloped me in its universe the way that Munch does. I have always marveled at how little-known Peter Watkins' Edvard Munch is, and I've been so thankful that it found me. You will be too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Foriegn Language Oct 16 2010
By Benowen
Format:DVD
It's all in Norwegian and that wasn't mentioned in the promo for the product. Only the narative is in English; all the characters are speaking Norwegian which I don't understand so I feel a little cheated.
