What a wonderful film! A film like a painting!

I was in cinema again and watched the movie "Das Maedchen mit dem Perlenohrring" ("Girl With A Pearl Earring"). You enjoy that movie for looking at it. All those beautiful pictures of the enviroment, costumes, landscapes - and the amazing beauty of the main actress Scarlett Johansson, the upcoming big star of Hollywood-cinema.

The grace of that perfect face is really amazing, such a cool elegance and such a cool innocence. It's funny: When you see her in that movie kissing someone else, you become immediately jelouse.

The story of that picture is not very important and quickly told: A poor maid comes in the household of the famous painter Jan Vermeer van Delft in Netherlands of the 17th Century. He begins to be interested in her and chooses her as model for a painting. His wife becomes jelouse and the maid has to leave the house. That's it - more or less.

But in my opinion, this is just the reason for showing the life in the 17th century and for celebrating that face all the movie long.

Including me, only four persons watched that movie in the cinema room, and I really like to sit in an empty or almost empty cinema to watch a really good movie. Well, it was the 11-pm-screening, though.
