Description:
A mystery within a mystery, the painting The Garden of Delights is the most famous and intriguing work by Hieronymus Bosch. In 2017 the world celebrated his 500th anniversary. Through unique exclusive access granted by the Prado Museum - such as witnessing the processes of X-raying and restoring the painting - the film explores and seeks to unveil all the unanswered questions about the painter himself and the painting, as well as to explain the inspiration that it has had in writers, painters, and musicians from all over the world.
Review
WINNER - Best Documentary - Cinema Writers Circle Awards, Spain
NOMINATED - Best Documentary - Goya Awards
OFFICIAL SELECTION - Valladolid Int'l. Film Festival ---
Without a thread to follow, nor a narrator to guide us, the director interviewed some thirty personalities of culture and science (Cees Noteboom, Laura Restrepo, Orhan Pamuk, Miquel Barceló, Michel Onfray, José Manuel Ballester, William Christie) to give their testimony. There's Salman Rushdie, there are conductors, philosophers. And the thoughts are of the most varied reason why each one understands the work, its meanings and signifiers. --Pablo Scholz, Clarin
It's a thoughtful seminar on an artwork that has endured for centuries and will inspire gallery-goers for many more. A series of talking heads featuring art experts, historians, and art lovers (including author Salman Rushdie) dive into The Garden of Earthly Delights. They offer an appreciation of the work's resonate depiction of Heaven and Hell. López-Linares captures the scale of Bosch's work and the extraordinary detail of the piece through close-up analysis on the visual level of the canvas as well. Audiences get a full view of the artwork's provocative bacchanal and there's lots to savour and consider. --Pat Mullen, POV Magazine

Bosch is fantastical. Having seen the original it was good to get the background and history on the painter and his work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Clarity and details are excellent!
The colors are so much brighter compared to older history books. The clarity is excellent, too. Happiness!
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good
Well done documentary very interesting and insightful what an amazing painting and knowing more about his background was really incredible
1.0 out of 5 stars This is the most badly edited documentary I've ever watched
Despite three panels loaded with characters and action, Bosch told a coherent story in "The Garden of Earthly Delights," one that delights viewers 500 years later. This documentary, with it's dozens of talking heads (who are identified by name only and not profession so we have no idea who we're listening to) is a half baked stew of ideas, which are thrown together without care for coherence, symmetry or meaning. If the purpose of this documentary is to enlighten the viewer about this extraordinary painting, it fails completely.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful.
Beautiful book. It came in perfect condition.
5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
Wonderful analysis of the incredible painting.
2.0 out of 5 stars Expert Gas
A bunch of academics, literary types, and a few celebrities "gas" about Bosch.A lot of impressions and opinions. Not much worth remembering.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this doc.
Wow...so much new information about Bosco I was unaware. Very informative; broad perspective. Will watch again - great!
Excellent film

Extraordinario documento sobre El Bosco
Excelente documento sobre la obra de El Bosco, que no solo nos muestra detalles de los cuadros que se exponen en el Museo del Prado, sino que también transmite opiniones y emociones de eminentes historiadores, artistas, escritores, etc., además de opiniones técnicas de restauradores y demás. La calidad de la imagen y del sonido es muy buena y, al final, no defrauda en absoluto. Para quien se sienta admirador o aficionado a la obra del gran pintor flamenco es una película fundamental que puede verse varias veces sin cansarse.
J'aime, mais...
Images splendides. Cependant un petit problème concernant, non pas le DVD lui même, ni les choix du réalisateur quant aux "V.O" mais en ce qui concerne la présentation sur le site d'Bolo. Il est noté. Audio : Espagnol, Anglais, Français, Cantonais. Sous titre : Espagnol, Anglais.La version audio utilise les langues parlées par les "acteurs" et il n'y a pas de version entièrement dans l'une ou l'autre des langues cotées...Et comme il n'y a que des sous titres Espagnol ou Anglais, il faut absolument maitriser l'une ou l'autre des ces langues. En plus ceux qui parlent en Espagnol ne sont pas traduits. Bon cela n'empêche que c'est beau
Five Stars
EXCELLENT
Cliente 100% satisfecho
Me ha gustado mucho que el documental trate sobre los misterios de la obra y que termine concluyendo que quizá el mayor encanto de la misma es que sea indescifrable
