Presented by the San Francisco International Film Festival in association with SFMOMA.
At once a detailed social history of 16th-century Flemish life and a keen study of the artistic imagination, Lech Majewski’s The Mill and the Cross brings to life before our eyes The Way to Calvary, Pieter Bruegel’s dense frieze of Christ’s passion set within a busy rustic Flanders scene.
