Movie Haiku:While this film’s set in 1665, the year “Dutch Master” Johannes Vermeer created one of his most famous paintings, the storyline plays more like a Victorian bodice-ripper. That said, the look of the film is gorgeous & the daily working life of its heroine is fascinating in its brutal detail.
