Synopsis

An epic tale of an uncompromising artist and fighter for freedom, Domenicos Theotokopoulos, known to the world as «El Greco». Set in the 16th century, El Grecos search for freedom, and love, ranges from the courts of Crete and Venice to Toledo in Spain. Here he is confronted by his greatest adversary the Holy Inquisition. Never backing down in his fight with the establishments of his day El Grecos story is one of unusual heroism, betrayal, love, and the power of one man and his creative consciousness to stand out and overcome barbarity and ignorance. An inspiration which lives on to this day. —IMDb

Dimitris Psachos

26Sep10

Unbelievably bad. More like a 1,5 and that because of Juan Diego Botto's performance. An atrociously "patriotic" approach of a tremendous painter, so deficient and empty.
