It can be a trifle drawn out in sections but Harrison and Heston, the role suits his stiff grand manner, make it work in their scenes.<br /><br />Haven't heard of Andrei Rublev before but love the inclusion of Mr. Bean. I never saw that one coming!!<br /><br />I too found this a theme with what I though were narrow choices, though looking through everyone's there are more than I realized but I did manage to recall these three:<br /><br />The Naked Maja (1958)-Tale of the renowned painter Francisco Goya (Anthony Franciosa) and his passionate affair with the Duchess of Alba (Ava Gardner) , purportedly the model for the title painting. Set against Spain’s war with France and the Inquisition, though shot in Italy, the film is a visual treat with a good performance by Gardner but missing a certain spark, perhaps due to the fact that the stars detested each other behind the scenes.<br /><br />Lust for Life (1956)-Biography of Vincent Van Gogh with an intense, driven performance by near lookalike Kirk Douglas as the tortured artist. Since he wasn’t acknowledged until after his death the film is a relentlessly grim look at the cost and weight of unrecognized genius. Overlong but loaded with works by the master. <br /><br />The Moon and Sixpence (1942)-Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin and based on the Somerset Maugham novel, the film tells the story of Charles Strickland (George Sanders) who throws his staid life as a married stockbroker away to run away to the South Seas to paint with nary a thought to the consequences. Well-acted with a superior cast but the lead character is an almost completely despicable person so it’s difficult to care too much for his story or fate. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282345477542778584.post-34472702091857472432017-02-03T00:18:26.623+00:002017-02-03T00:18:26.623+00:00Ok that MR.
