A documentary film portrait of the artist
Today the name of Millais conjures up such well-known popular favourites as the drowning of Ophelia, The Boyhood of Raleigh, or the sentimental Bubbles. But in his time Millais was one of the most gifted and versatile of all
English artists and much sought after as a portrait painter.
This programme, celebrating the 150th anniversary year of his birth, retraces the story of Millais's life and work through letters to and from his contemporaries and through a large collection of drawings and paintings, many of them seen publicly for the first time. Also taking part are art historian Malcolm Warner and writer Professor Quentin Bell , one of the best-known authorities on Victorian art and artists.

Following the accidental drowning of their young daughter, John and Laura Baxter go to Venice - he to work and she to recuperate. The couple meet two sisters taking a winter holiday in the beautiful but strangely eerie city. One of the women claims to have psychic powers and convinces Laura that she can communicate with the dead child, gradually involving the couple in a series of bizarre happenings and encounters that can only lead to tragedy. This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful and mysterious films of the last decade, which will be shown tonight in the version released in America.
