The epic story of the incompatible person and defender of freedom, Dominiko
Theotokopoulo, the well known El Greco.
In the 16th century, the searching of El
Greco for freedom and love is starting from the courtyards of Crete and Venice
and going to Toledo in Spain. There, he is facing his biggest foe, the
Inquisition.
Without never giving up his
war against the "ruling class" of his era, the story of El Greco
combines unusual heroism, love, betrayal, but also the power of a man and his
creative realization to overcome the barbarity of his period. A story that
inspires our days but also triggers creatively the future.
The movie is more biographical than
entertaining, it shows how a big painter got through life in Greece, Italy and
Spain, where he was against the ruling class in every place he lived. His life
really is amazing and that can entertain you although the movie responds in
other questions.
I personally liked the movie, you could
easily fall in the 16th century and understand the sadness and the happiness of
El Greco, the romance of the period. Although the screenwriter and the
producing team doesn't left anything for the imagination of the viewers, everything
was openly discussed and played in the movie, I could rate the movie 8 out of
10 and of course recommend this movie for watching.
FAIR!
