Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. -

Affascinato dalla sensibilità pittorica dello sguardo registico di quest’ultimo, Gibson gli fece avere una copia del suo libro The Mill and The Cross (Il mulino e la croce), un'analisi del dipinto La salita al Calvario di Pieter Bruegel. Majewski, colpito dalle riflessioni formulate da Gibson sull’opera di Bruegel, decise allora di sviluppare un progetto ambizioso: la trasposizione cinematografica del lavoro del maestro fiammingo, attraverso il ricorso alla tecnica dei tableaux vivant (già sperimentata in campo cinematografico da registi del calibro di Pasolini, Godard, Greenway). Per Lech Majewski questa sfida ben si inseriva nel percorso -

Fascinated by the director’s painterly vision, he gave him a copy of his book The Mill and the Cross, an analysis of Pieter Bruegel’s painting The Way to Calvary. Majewski, whose creative journey began with painting and poetry, admired the depth of Gibson’s insight into Bruegel’s picture, so he took up the challenge of creating a visual equivalent of the Flemish master’s work. For Lech Majewski this challenge was not an entirely new one, as he had already based several of his films on paintings and painters. It was he who wrote the original screenplay for Basquiat and found Julian Schnabel to direct it; his film The Garden of Earthly Delights, with Bosch’s famous painting as a background, was hailed by Sight & Sound as a masterpiece; his unique videoart pieces were displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Venice Biennale. -

Er nimmt den AuftragI an, doch will er nicht eine weitere von unzähligen Versionen der Passionsgeschichte liefern, sondern etwas Besonderes schaffen: Ein Bild, das eine Vielzahl von Geschichten erzählt und das groß genug ist, hunderte von Menschen aufzunehmen. Aber vor allem soll die Kreuzigungsgeschichte nicht im Heiligen Land, sondern in seiner flämischen Heimat spielen. Also geht Bruegel hinaus zu den Menschen auf den Höfen, Feldern und Märkten, um nach diesen Geschichten in einem Land zu suchen, das unter spanischer Herrschaft steht und in dem die Inquisi- toren erbarmungslos wüten. Er hält alles in seinen Skizzen fest und beginnt auf diese Weise, die Schicksale von unzähligen Menschen virtuos miteinander zu verflechten.. -
