In 2005, Michael Palin set out to unlock the mysteries and find out about the background and life of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Hammershøi painted around the start of the 20th century and many of his pictures have a distinct coolness and distance about them. Palin, wanting to know of his inspirations and the reason for these mystical pictures, starts his search in Hayward Gallery in London, goes to Amsterdam and finally the painters home town, Copenhagen (Denmark).

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This programme was done brilliantly well. I loved the woman playing the piano at the beginning I found Micheal Palin's voice as he described some of Hammersoi's paintings haunting and stuck in my mind. I must say I felt that I wanted to know more after the programme finished. As I watched this programme I felt I got into it more and more. It was wonderfully directed by Eleanor Yule and produced by Mahri McNeal. I thought all the music was beautifully chosen and perfect for the mellow mood of the show. Palin described the atmosphere of the places he visited so well I felt I was in the room with him. Watching it makes me want to know even more about him. Wonderfully made show recommend to all audiences.
