Girl with a Pearl Earring


Borrowed Flora's DVD of the 2003 movie about Vermeer (though fictional). It's simple, with lovely lighting and an opening worthy of Babette's Feast.

I can't ask for more from Scarlett Johansson's performance. I've always liked her as an actress. (Her Danish father accounts for that last name.) Colin Firth is his usual brooding self. Cillian Murphy's wig makes me laugh. Regardless of how covered-up in fake facial hair Tom Wilkinson is, I will always remember him in The Full Monty.
