Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)
Country: GB/LUX/ US
Technical: col/scope 100m
Director: Peter Webber
Cast: Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Wilkinson, Judy Parfitt
Synopsis:
The Vermeer household takes on a new maid and the women struggle to procure a new commission from their wealthy, and lusty, patron. Meanwhile the servant girl shows an uncommon sensitivity to the factors of light and colour that make up the master's art, and the patron's eye is drawn to her fair form.
Review:
Cleverly lit and composed to resemble a succession of tableaux by the man himself, this fanciful creation of a story behind the well-known painting effectively conjures up the atmosphere and physicality of its time while sketching a tantalising relationship of sublimated passion between its two principal characters.
