About Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch is a 1974 Norwegian biographical psychological docudrama film written, narrated and directed by English filmmaker Peter Watkins. It is about the Norwegian Expressionist painter Edvard Munch. It stars non-professional Norwegian actor Geir Westby as the painter. Watkins appears as an English-speaking voiceover narrator to imbue the film its documentary style. It was originally created as a two-part miniseries co-produced by the Norwegian and Swedish state television networks NRK and SVT, but subsequently gained an American theatrical release in 1976. The film covers about thirty years of Munch's life, focusing on the influences that shaped his art, particularly the prevalence of disease and death in his family and his youthful affair with a married woman.
