Thoughts and Visions of a Severed Head (1991)

Genre : Documentary, Drama

Runtime : 26M

Director : Olivier Smolders, Johan Van den Driessche

Synopsis

The theme of death is heavily interwoven in Smolder’s surreal salute to Belgian painter Antoine Wiertz, a Hieronymus Bosch-type artist whose work centered on humans in various stages in torment, as depicted in expansive canvases with gore galore. Smolders has basically taken a standard documentary and chopped it up, using quotes from the long-dead artist, and periodic statements by a historian (Smolders) filling in a few bits of Wiertz’ life.
