Dance of Life: Edvard Munch
Dance of Life is a painting and a film portrait of acclaimed painter & author Edvard Munch. This film, based on diaries and letters, tells the story behind the pictures Jealousy, The Scream (Yes.THAT picture), The Mother, and many others. Of the painting 'The Dance Of Life', Munch describes the scene in his diary. 'I am dancing with my true love -a memory of her. -A smiling, blond haired woman enters who wishes to take the flower of love#but it won't allow itself to be taken. And on the other side one can see her dressed in black troubled by the couple dancing-.rejected#as I was rejected from her dance.' His picture clearly indicates Munch's ambivalence toward the women in his life.
