It is about the process of creating an exhibition of paintings by Edvard Munch, curated by the writer Karl Ove Knausgård.
[1] Knausgård and the filmmaker Joachim Trier travel in the footsteps of Edvard Munch to understand his paintings better.
The documentary film directed by the brothers Emil and Joachim Trier was produced by Nicolai Moland and Thomas Robsahm for Don't Look Now.
[3] In addition to the film, the exhibition resulted in Knausgård's book Så mye lengsel på så liten flate: En bok om Edvard Munchs bilder, where he discusses Munch with artists and other cultural figures.
Schepelern wrote that the film's emphasis on less known Munch paintings makes it possible to see the artist in a new light, as someone who gave meaning to seemingly banal aspects of everyday life.
