Edvard Munch is a multilayered portrait of both the eponymous artist and his world. British director Peter Watkins precariously balances intimacy and distance through a dense montage style in which imagery gains meaning and resonance through repetition. Ingmar Bergman rightly considered the film to be one of the greatest depictions of Scandinavian life during the period of cinema's emergence. This is the unabridged version, with narration by Watkins and English subtitles.
