    • Quotes

      El Greco: You once reached out for God, and your fingers closed on emptiness ; and you didn't learn. How can God speak to you when instead of loving you burn, ruin and spread hatred all around?

      El Greco: Now, of course, my turn has come - but you can't burn me... and I'll tell you why :

      El Greco: Because I've been burning all my life, my entire life ; not in the fire, in the light. I threw myself into the blaze of it.

      El Greco: You light fires because you're afraid to burn. You are afraid of the light and this is why I pity you, my old friend, Niño de Guevara.

      El Greco: Because you aren't wrong to be afraid, but every flame you light drives you deeper into the darkness and no matter how many people you burn, you will never escape it.

      El Greco: Can the darkness condemn the light?

    Could be better
    Honestly i was expecting something much better. El Greco is one of the most important painters of Renaissance so, a film about his life should stress that importance. Instead ,we see a poorly written ,poorly acted film whose main focus is the costumes and the scenery. Almost all the actors have a terrible accent, which is understandable for their characters as they are Greeks/Spaniards/Italians etc. But then we have an El Greco, a Greek person mind you, who has a perfect British accent! Casting was poorly done and i'd rather see a Greek actor play El Greco. All in all, the film is watchable, but with all the money put into it, you'd expect something much, much better.
