The Mill and The Cross: my review of Lech Majewski's beautiful film




Saw Director Lech Majewski's film The Mill and The Cross at the Tivoli back in 2011. Never heard of it and chose it spur-of-the-moment. The best film of its kind I've seen since The Tree of Life. Mill and The Cross is based on a famous painting by Pieter Bruegel called "Way to Calvary," which depicts the Crucifixion.

The great Rutger Hauer plays Bruegel, Michael York his patron, and York's wife, Charlotte Rampling, Bruegel's reference for Mary, Jesus' mother.
