Refusing the conventional structure of the biopic and venturing into the realm of the docudrama, Peter Watkins’ Edvard Munch focuses on the formative years of the Norwegian Expressionist painter — the influences that shaped his art, his relationship with a married woman (which would haunt him for the rest of his life), and his time in Berlin, where he fled following the poor reception of his work by both critics and the public.
