My wife and I visited a fair amount of art museums so you could say we're interested in art, and Pieter Bruegel's work has got our attention more than once, especially mine since I'm a Belgian, but in all fairness The Mill And The Cross is just not my kind of movie. I'm not saying it's not well done, it's definitely special and out of the ordinary, very creative and interesting to see how people lived at that time, but it could have used more dialogues and some kind of a story. Don't watch this movie for the acting as that is just the insignificant part, and to be honest some extras are clearly not used to be in front of a camera. The Mill And The Cross is the story behind Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1564 painting "The Way to Calvary". Every scene of the movie looks like it could be a painting of Pieter Bruegel. It's special, I'll give you that, but as a movie it's just not my thing, I'd rather go to a museum again and look at his work there.
