Edvard Munch

Directed by Peter Watkins

With Geir Westby, Gro Fraas, Peter Watkins, Eric Allum and Ragnvald Caspari

Edvard Munch's childhood is overshadowed by death: he suffers the loss of his sister and mother, while enduring serious illness himself, almost dying. At university, Munch discovers his talent as a painter. As he immerses himself in the art world, he becomes part of a cultural revolution led by the likes of nihilist Hans Jæger.
