El Molino y la Cruz. Entre la metapintura y las narraciones transmedia

Abstract

Polish director Lech Majewski based his film «The Mill and the Cross» on two different sources: Michael Francis Gibson’s homonymous dissertation and The Procession to Calvary, Brueghel’s oil-on-panel masterpiece. The filmmaker paints a picture within another, a humongous, slow and silent tableaux vivant because slow is the creative process as well. Only the conversation between the painter and the art dealer, in which the first one explains the ways his painting has been made, breaks the quietness.
