Edvard Munch was one of the most important artists in the period between the 19th and 20th centuries. His motif Skrik (The Scream), repeated in several techniques, became part of the 20th-century world subconsciousness – an image of fear and loneliness most people probably know, even if they have no idea who created it.
Acting
Four Munchs somehow feel like one unraveling psyche.

Norwegian landscapes as oppressive as the man himself.
Production
Period detail that makes tuberculosis look almost romantic.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Munch made multiple versions of 'The Scream' in different media—paint, pastel, lithograph—obsessively returning to that image like trauma on loop.
Dagny Juel was a real avant-garde figure who died violently in Tbilisi—her presence here hints at the bohemian circles Munch orbited before retreating into isolation.
