Documentary film Munch in Hell
(Munch i helvete)

Adored abroad - ignored at home. The untold story of Edvard Munch and a country too small for his genius.

Munch in Hell is a documentary that seeks to explain how and why the painter Edvard Munch was subject to systematically poor and ignorant treatment in his homeland. Today considered one of the world’s greatest painters, but not treated as he deserves.
