"Beautiful film about the life of artist Frida Kahlo: her crippling accident, her marriage to artist Diego Rivera and her brave and deeply personal art."
"Novelist Iris Murdoch as a young academic and later as she suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Based on the memoirs of her husband John Bayley. Very moving and beautiful acting from Judi Dench."
"Beatrix Potter's high society upbringing and her determination to publish her books in spite of her mother's disapproval. Great acting from Rene Zellweger."
"Slow paced film about Dutch artist Vermeer, who paints his maid Griet; their intimacy causes jealousy in his family. The film is focussed on Griet more than on Vermeer's art in general."
"Set during the Holocaust. Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert pianist eludes the Nazis, but suffers the loss of family members. One of the best films I have ever seen."
