影片改编自比利时艺术史学家Michael Francis Gibson的小说,是一部以文艺复兴时代为背景的惊悚片,围绕尼德兰著名画家博鲁盖尔的名作《受难之路》而展开。《磨坊与十字架》是一堂伪装成电影的的艺术史课,它的最初公开亮相,不是在电影院也不是在电影节,而是在卢浮宫 、纽约大都会艺术馆这样的场所。影片将人们带回十六世纪的荷兰,博鲁盖尔在创作《受难之路》时借助一个圣经故事来影射当时西班牙统治者的残忍以及尼德兰人民的反抗。莱彻·玛祖斯基将艺术史研究同电影CGI、3D技术结合起来,试图还原画家在创作这幅作品时所处的社会环境以及当时的思想、心境。站在一部艺术品之前的心神激荡,不正是让我们所有人晕眩地以为是所谓创作冲动么?值得一提的是,勃鲁盖尔的另一名作《雪中猎人》刺激瑞典导演罗伊·安德森创作下一部作品,名字很长的《树梢上沉思存在的鸟儿》,这部作品有望在明年戛纳或者威尼斯电影节亮相。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
