Edvard Munch stands as a painter both universally recognized and profoundly unknown. His work, an omen of the twentieth century's tragedies, echoes in the art of Warhol, Bergman, and Abramović. The opening of Oslo's new Munch Museum in autumn 2021 provides the launching pad for this documentary's exploration. It journeys beyond 'The Scream' to illuminate the experimental and strikingly modern roads of his artistry. The film sheds light on the singular charm of the man himself—a precursor and a master to whom contemporary culture owes an immense debt, finally granting him a definitive portrait within the walls of his city's new temple.
