Info

One of the first European films commissioned by the countries that signes the Brussels treaty and filmed in the museums of Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Ghent and The Hague. The film shows, by means of 59 works of art, how painting discovered the landscape once it left the strictly religious context behind. Henri storck wrote, "We have tried to eliminate the artificiality of filming. We have tried to hide the camera in order to immerse the audience in the world of the painting and the landscape that it depicts. We want the viewer to discover the feeling of nature for himself, through the artists.... It is not our ambition to make a critical or informative work." This iconic journey from Bosch to Manet and Turner is accompanied by music by Georges Auric.

The Open Window Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
