This is the imagined, intriguing story of the relationship between Vermeer and the beautiful young servant girl who inspired one of the greatest paintings of all time. One of the rare book adaptations that really benefits from the big screen; the masterly cinematography, set design and use of colour stunningly brings Vermeer's world to life.

Nominated for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design Oscars 2004
