Film Special: The Mill and the Cross
The film takes us deep inside Flemish master Pieter Brueghel's The Way to Calvary, a 16th-century Passion painting depicting more than five-hundred figures. From physical staging to layered CGI, Lech Majewski's film is a dazzling master class in visual composition as he animates a dozen characters, from carousing peasants and murderous redcoats to the painter himself.
Director: Lech Majewski, Poland, 2011, 92 minutes. Cosponsored by the Hood Museum of Art.
