This movie looks amazing on many many levels; Rutger Hauer, Michael York, Charlotte Rampling star in a movie that explores the symbolism of Bruegel's The Mill and the Cross painting:

This is the first time I've ever heard of this painting, or the book it inspired- much less this new movie showcasing 12 of the 500 penitents shown in the painting.  I'll need to take a closer look- upon first glance, I saw nothing noteworthy enough to spawn a book, much less a movie.
