SYNOPSIS: Best known for his painting “The Scream”, this pristinely restored 1973 film covers the 10 year period in Munch’s life, 1885-95, when the artist did his most important and influential work. Through a swirling montage of the sounds and images conveying Munch’s memories, fears and influences all interspersed with shots of the artist at work, this film creates one of the most enthralling studies of a working artist ever filmed.
