If you want to know how could a piece of painting be turned into a movie, you will certainly need to watch Girl With a Pearl Earring. The movie was absolutely SENSUOUS, celebrating the aesthetic aspect of art. Watching this movie was like listening to a classic piece of music or watching a painting. I was completely mesmerized from beginning to end, unable to spot what made this movie so beautiful! Was it the astonishingly simple plot? Was it the breathtaking cinematography? Was it the outstanding choice of cast? Was it the haunting performance? I don't know actually, but I guess all of that. The movie is also devoid of any extreme expression of sexual emotions, yet there are scenes in which you feel totally caught up in a very strong swirl of raw feelings. Although slow-paced, I can watch this movie over and over again, savoring the beauty of every scene.
