Guy Pearce is a good Warhol but David Bowie is the definitive Warhol in <i>Basquiat</i>. My issues about that film was more with some of the dramatic liberties made about Sedgwick and Warhol which were exaggerated. Plus, I really didn't like seeing Hayden Christensen as Bob Dylan. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-20894307644054267522017-02-02T19:12:04.026-06:002017-02-02T19:12:04.026-06:00I've only seen Girl with the Pearl Earring whi...I've only seen Girl with the Pearl Earring which was quite wonderful, don't know why it didn't occur to me! I don't remember Cillian's wig but thought Firth, Johannson and Judy Parfitt were all wonderful. <br /><br />I've meant to see both of your others. I've read the George Plimpton bio of Edie Sedgwick, a deeply troubled girl from a family that could be a poster ad for dysfunction. <br /><br />I discovered when I was pulling titles that I don't have any films about painters that I love passionately but these three are ones I liked.<br /><br />The Naked Maja (1958)-Tale of the renowned painter Francisco Goya (Anthony Franciosa) and his passionate affair with the Duchess of Alba (Ava Gardner) , purportedly the model for the title painting. Set against Spain’s war with France and the Inquisition, though shot in Italy, the film is a visual treat with a good performance by Gardner but missing a certain spark, perhaps due to the fact that the stars detested each other behind the scenes.<br /><br />Lust for Life (1956)-Biography of Vincent Van Gogh with an intense, driven performance by near lookalike Kirk Douglas as the tortured artist. Since he wasn’t acknowledged until after his death the film is a relentlessly grim look at the cost and weight of unrecognized genius. Overlong but loaded with works by the master. <br /><br />The Moon and Sixpence (1942)-Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin and based on the Somerset Maugham novel, the film tells the story of Charles Strickland (George Sanders) who throws his staid life as a married stockbroker away to run away to the South Seas to paint with nary a thought to the consequences. Well-acted with a superior cast but the lead character is an almost completely despicable person so it’s difficult to care too much for his story or fate. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-32657831189736660062017-02-02T18:33:28.328-06:002017-02-02T18:33:28.328-06:00We have a match with Exit.

I love the performances and thought it was so well acted with the subtle sexual tension between Vermeer and the girl.
