Just saw The Mill And The Cross and I must comment - it was so good! I finished it 3 hours ago and it's all I can think about. Afterward finishing the movie, I made dinner and opened a bottle of wine (which I've dug ever so deeply into). I suppose it helps that I'm a lover of all things Bruegel oriented, and saw the piece in question while I was in Veinna this past summer. The cinematography was so fresh and new. Everything was so damn visceral. The dialogue, while minimal, still managed to resonate with meaning and, hefty as it was, sunk itself into me.
I thought Rutger Hauer was awesome. Checked on imdb and he did 11 movies in 2011! I'm familiar with only a handful of them, but it seems like there's so much quality about him. (I know you loved him in Hobo.. witty. )
I loved the various references to his other paintings done by Bruegel as well.
