Bruegel The Mill & the Cross

In 2005 the writer and art. Critic Michael Francis Gibson saw Lech Majewski's 'Angelus' in a cinema in Paris. Fascinated by the director's painterly vision he gave him a copy of his book 'The Mill and the Cross', an analysis of Pieter Bruegel's painting 'The Way to Calvary'. Majewski, whose creative journey began with painting and poetry, admired the depth of Gibson's insight into Bruegel's picture, and this led quite naturally to the idea of writing a screenplay together.
